Lauren Mochizuki entered the wonderful word of dance at the age of three. It was under the instruction of Kate Jablonski that her love for creative movement flourished and Nick Pupillo that her appreciation for technique multiplied. Lauren has since worked closely with many inspiring and well-established teachers in the Chicagoland area including Diane Fotino, Nick Pupillo, Laura Wade, Logan Lipton, Kylie Bannon, and many more. She has also worked with guest choreographers such as Ahmad Simmons, Brooke Lipton, Lindsay Nelko, Mary Jo Irbe/Randy Duncan, and Chris Xayarath. She has also choreographed numerous pieces for Eurythmics Dance Company and constantly pushes herself to create new movement. Lauren received countless awards and scholarships including but not limited to: Top 5 and Top 10 at West Coast Dance Explosion's Nationals, a contract with Go2Talent Agency, and many other scholarships through programs such as Interlochen Arts Academy, Hollywood Vibe, Jump, and the Pulse.
