Lauren Cangiano is graduating from Eastside Catholic School and will be attending the University of San Diego this fall. She is currently enrolled as Undecided, with an interest in pursuing Health Sciences. Lauren has danced at Inspire for the past eight years. She is a valued member of our Elevate Dance Company and our teaching staff.

There are very few people in this world as genuinely kind and easygoing as Lauren. She is the definition of a team player – someone who consistently shows up, works hard, and supports everyone around her. Time and time again, we have been impressed by her maturity, her steady presence, and the positivity she brings into every room she walks into.

Lauren is simply one of those people everyone wants to be around. She has a way of making others feel comfortable, included, and valued, and it’s no surprise that she is considered a friend by everyone she meets. Whether she’s dancing alongside her teammates, helping younger students in the classroom, or supporting others behind the scenes, Lauren always leads with kindness and humility.

Lauren has become such an important part of our studio culture. She is a role model in every sense of the word and a true gem of a person. Watching her grow into the thoughtful, hardworking young woman she is today has been an absolute joy. Lauren, we know you are going to be successful in anything you choose to do – we will miss you so much at Inspire, but could not be more excited to watch you take on this next chapter!

From Lauren :

Dance has taught me so many valuable lessons about teamwork, dedication, and confidence, and has shaped me into the person I am today. Dance has taught me the importance of hard work, and what it means to be working as part of a team. It's all about showing up, being there for each other, and continuing to grow together.

Inspire has become my second family. All the relationships I have formed here will last me a lifetime, and be something I will always cherish. I am so grateful to be surrounded by teachers who care and share their passion, as well as friends who bring a smile to my face everyday. I am forever thankful for the memories, connections, and second home Inspire has been to me.

A special shoutout to my Mom, Dad, and brother for always supporting me through everything, and to my teachers at Inspire for their constant love, guidance, and encouragement over the years.

With love,

Lauren
