Music and dance have always pervaded Lauren Pantaleo’s life in some of her most fond memories, like coming home from tap dancing lessons and showing her grandmother who was sick with cancer all the steps she had learned and her grandmother  would follow along in her chair. Besides tap, she dabbled in ballet, modern, ballroom, and finally found her calling in 2008 with belly dance. Her training is primarily in Egyptian oriental and folkloric under the most well-renowned teachers of middle-eastern dance. Lauren gravitates towards the sweet and the spicy; hence, her style is graceful and classy with a touch of sassy.
