ABOUT ME
First Name: Lauren
Nickname: Laur, Turkey, Turks, Cupcake
Hometown: Mahwah, NJ
Occupation: Student
Education: Currently a Senior Psychology major at Kutztown University with a minor in Dance
Hobbies: Dancing of course! Listening to music, shopping, playing sports, spending time with friends and family, and traveling when I have the time
Dance/Cheer Performance Experience: I danced for 10 years at Robin Horneff's Performing Arts Center in NJ where I competed for 3 years and studied all types of dance, including ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, modern, and hip-hop. I am currently on the KU Dance Team for my 2nd year. 

Favorite Movie: Sex and the City, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Never Been Kissed, Up!
I am Happiest When: I am with my friends and family, or when I'm at the beach.
Sweats or a Dress: Depends on the day, but you'll usually find me in sweats.
Most people don't know: that I design web sites! I've been the Assistant Webmaster for the Kutztown University web site for the past year and a half.
Favorite Dessert: I love chocolate malted shakes!
Guilty Pleasure: Dunkin' Donuts, or anything chocolate, really.
Dream Vacation: Tuscany, Italy, with a private villa on the beach.
Most Embarrassing Moment: Doing a wacky dance while singing the Filet O' Fish song for my roommate out on our front porch, not realizing that our neighbors were also on their front porch, watching me. Turns out they loved it.
What would you like to be doing in 5 years: I would love to be living in New York City and working as a Guidance Counselor in an inner-city high school, and be part of a dance company as well.
Lifetime Goal: To dance on Broadway, travel across the world, face all my fears, change someone's life, and to always be happy.
My Passions: Dancing and music. They have gotten me through so much and I don't know how I'd ever live without them.
Proudest Accomplishment: Choreographing a 3-minute dance routine in 2 days, teaching it to non-dancers, and coming in 1st place for the competition. And, of course, making the R-Phils Dance Team :)
Favorite Quote: "Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another." - Anonymous
Biggest Pet Peeve: When people crack their knuckles.
My Claim to Fame: I was an extra in the Jonas Brothers' first music video back in 2006.

Best Advice Ever Given, and from Whom: to believe in yourself, follow your dreams, and to always dance from your heart- Mom <3
