Lauren is a resident of Freeport Bahamas where she will be returning this summer to live with her father Mike Carey, owner of the Bahamian company Carey Marine International.
Lauren began dancing at age 3 with The Academy of Ballet Florida in West Palm Beach Florida with additional training from Demetrius Klein.
Lauren studied and completed 4 years at the Juilliard School in New York City, graduating in a class of 19 students
While continuing her studies at Ballet Florida and performing with the company under the direction of Marie Hale, Lauren was accepted to the Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. School of the Arts.
While attending Dreyfoos majoring in dance, Lauren became a member of the
National Honor Society, Dance Honor Society and was president of her senior class.
During those years Lauren studied privately with internationally known dancer and choreographer Dennis Wayne, and additionally spent summers with Miami City Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, American Ballet Theater and The School of American Ballet. During her first year at Juilliard Lauren organized a free summer outreach program for the children of Freeport. The program exposed the children to dance and performance techniques and encouraged them to express themselves freely through movement. The program was a great chance for them to see the world of dance and all the amazing things it has to offer.
