Lauren Debrick was born in DC and started her training in Frederick, MD. At an early age she moved to Atlanta were she trained extensively in ballet, pointe and jazz technique at Decatur School of Ballet and joined the Decatur City Dance Company as a junior company member. Her training continued once she joined the University of Maryland dance department where she trained in modern dance. During that time she trained and performed with many modern and contemporary companies, which gave her tremendous growth. After receiving a BA in Dance she moved to Atlanta were she began her professional career in both performance and teaching. Lauren believes dance is one of the best ways to be expressive and that it help us grow in every aspect of our lives.After taking an amazing, yet challenging, class from the talented Lauren Debrick, I sat down to get into her mind and find out just where her inspiration comes from. I learned so much, in speaking to her, about her background and how it has shaped her into the dancer and choreographer she is today. I wanted to talk to Lauren because I truly appreciate the artist she is and how she has grown as a "vision creator". Yup! I definitely just made that up :-) To me that's what she is though....as we were talking I expressed to Lauren how an audience member might be able to see the exact story she is telling because her thoughts and direction are so clear...not much left to interpretation with this one; what she sees is what you get!! So, I hope you enjoy our convo and I hope that it inspires you! Answer the questions I asked her for yourself and see where you are on your journey, what's important to you, and find your message to the world. Enjoy!!!
