Lara Estes Georgi began dancing when she was 8 years old after her neighbor offered her dance lessons for finding their dog when it ran away. Shortly after she auditioned for School of American Ballet and was accepted on full scholarship for 6 years where she had the opportunity to perform various children roles with the NYCB, including the Nutcracker in Lincoln center and various ballets over the summers in Saratoga springs. when she was 10 she was cast as a dancer in the movie Uptown Girls (such a cool experience!) She then attended Ballet Academy East on full scholarship for 4 years and spent the summers at NYSSA and CPYB.

After she graduated from highschool she took time off from dance to get her Associates in Arts. When she was 21 she began teaching ballet, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical and pointe. She recently branched out and started doing choreography for her local high school musical. She is currently getting certified to be a personal trainer through NASM. For the past 9 years she has come to find her own style of teaching which focuses on a healthy balance between educating, encouraging and caring for each person in a way that will benefit them most. Lara believes in meeting people where they are and providing them with the knowledge and skills they need to help them reach their potential. 

Having only being exposed to dance through sheer luck and having to work hard to prove her worth in order to receive the necessary financial aid to follow her passion, Lara learned what it means to give her absolute best and to never take anything for granted. The life skills that she has been blessed with from dance are what makes her the person she is and she is passionate about sharing everything she has learned with others. Nothing brings her more joy than teaching and learning everytime she steps into the studio.
