Laura Wegrzyn is a seasoned teacher, has been teaching for over 20 years and brings a wealth of experience to Pacific Dance. She began her pre-professional ballet training and performing at Dieman and Bennett, the school for Dance Theatre of the Hemispheres in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This is where Laura became acquainted with "real" ballet, performed her first "Nutcracker", and fell in love with the classical music, high standards, and the beauty and timelessness of ballet. Laura continued her training in California, earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in Dance at the University of California, Irvine. After graduation, Laura taught, choreographed, and performed professionally with the Lake Arrowhead Classical Ballet Company. There, she performed as a company corps de ballet dancer as well as a soloist, a 6 year tenure that left her with a valuable and pleasant memory and learning experience.

Most recently Laura is pleased to associate with Stela Viorica of the Stella Dance Company and with Lois Ellyn of the Nouveau Chamber Ballet. Laura continues to choreograph, perform and take class, and she teaches in the classical tradition so the art of ballet remains pure.
