Shelby Lawrence

Shelby Lawrence has always viewed dance as a form of expression and therapy. Dance allowed her to open out of her shell at the age of four, and now she hopes to help others find their love of dance. 

Shelby began her training at San Diego Civic Dance Arts where she had the opportunity to work with artists Mia Michaels and Maud Arnold. She continued her training at Loyola Marymount University where she found her love of concert dance. 

With a need to keep dance at the center of her life, Shelby dreams of performing in a contemporary dance company while achieving a Masters’ degree in School Psychology. Fusing both her passions of psychology and dance, Shelby wants to integrate dance therapy into her practice of School Psychology for children on the spectrum.
