Lauren's life blood is music + dance. She conceptualized Pivot during the pandemic when life forced us all to "pivot" in unexpected ways. Lauren and her Woodlawn besties made outdoor family dance parties a regular practice for instant smiles, connection, and stress relief. From there, Pivot was born.  

 

Raised in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles, Lauren was spoonfed MJ, Whitney, Madonna, and Janet as a babe, and came of age when hip hop was exploding. She started performing at eight, and quickly discovered that her petite Japanese stature was no barrier to her shining presence on the stage. She loves all types of dance, but is partial to hip hop and street dance.

 

Lauren believes that everybody is a dancer and all of us need community, so she created Pivot to grow a circle of togetherness (ensō) rooted in dance + music, acceptance + joy. A long-time yogi, Lauren is a RYT-200 certified yoga instructor. She is also a wife, mother, & bad-a$$ crepe maker.
