TRAINING

Lauren Boyd began dancing at the age of two. Her mother Diana Boyd, dance teacher and business owner, helped to foster her early dancing career by teaching and introducing jazz music into the home. The shy and timid dancer, expressed her love of the performing arts and spent most of her young life performing puppet shows and solo tap dances to Phantom of The Opera for her family.

At the age of eleven, she began competing at The Dance Gallery, under the direction of Kay Bast, where she earned her title as California State Grand Champion for novelty tap and straight jazz.

She later trained as a classical ballet dancer at Inland Pacific Ballet, under the direction of Victoria Koenig, and Pasadena Dance Theatre, under the direction of Laurence Blake. She earned scholarships to American Ballet Theatre, The School of American Ballet, San Fransisco Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet and Lines Ballet in San Fransisco for their training programs.
