Lauren's Bio
Lauren Schmid was a lifelong dancing hobbyist with formal training as a yoga instructor and massage therapist when she embarked on the volunteer adventure of teaching line dancing in 2021, and instantly loved it! Her love of line dancing and teaching led Lauren to study choreography at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California, where she contributed original choreography pieces to the annual Dance Collective concerts of 2023, 2024, and 2025. Whether she’s bringing absolute beginner line dancers from uncertainty to confidence, or sharing complex line dances with experienced dancers of other genres, Lauren finds it a privilege to share her love of line dancing, and feels great joy in witnessing the growth of the line dancing community. Fun, friends, and great music are waiting for you... in a line dancing class!
