She completed the 3-year teacher training program at the prestigious Canada’s National Ballet School, studying dance pedagogy, anatomy, music, and dance history to name a few. She was the recipient of the Carol Chadwich award, demonstrating her significant potential as a dance educator and graduated with distinction in 2017. She was highly involved in the Sharing Dance program, an initiative to make dance accessible in the communities across the country through the making of a flashmob.

Laura pursued her teaching career in Quebec City, becoming a full-time ballet teacher at l’École de Danse de Québec. She taught body conditioning, ballet, pointe work, and choreography for the professional, recreational and adult programs. She also taught at l’Académie de ballet Christie and Québec Multi-danse Association. Establishing herself in Montreal in January 2020, she is now part of the teaching faculty at l’école Supérieure de Ballet du Québec in the junior program.

Pursuing her dance career, she is highly involved in the Latin dance community. She and her partners hold several national and international titles in bachata cabaret, salsa and Kizomba. Her love for dance continues to evolve through the learning of new styles, performing Argentinian Tango as well as learning Brazilian zouk.

Dance has the power to heal, unite and connect. She lives to transmit her love and passion for dance whether it be through teaching or performing and hopes she can help couples connect through this beautiful art form.
