< Back Lauren Roberson Faculty: Hip Hop Lauren started dancing when she was three years old, and hasn't stopped dancing since! Lauren's primary training was at South Coast Conservatory in Orange County. At six years old, she became part of SCC's competition team and over the years have traveled to numerous competitions and conventions such as Countdown, Spotlight, Nuvo, Dance Atak, and 24/7. Highlights to competition/conventions include being awarded 'stand-out' awards at Nuvo and 24/7; being invited to to be on “Team Dance Atak”; and numerous overall awards. Also at Spotlight Dance Competition, Lauren was individually recognized to receive their newly created Judges Choice award called “Reaching Beyond”. In Lauren's final year of competing, her jazz funk solo received first overall at Countdown Nationals. After stepping down from competing in 2019, Lauren continued dancing at Dana Hills High School on Pep Squad (Under the direction of our very own Lindsey Lee!), and Southern Orange County School of the Arts Dance Production team while continuing her training at Urge Dance Complex, and Pave School of the Arts. In her final two years of high school, Lauren took on a leadership role as dance team captain and moved into the creative realm with choreography. Currently Lauren is a second year student at Chapman University pursuing a MA in Elementary Education with a Minor in Entrepreneurship. This year, Lauren is starting her student teaching hours in both general ed and special ed classrooms. In addition, at Chapman, Lauren continues her dance studies in jazz, ballet, modern, contemporary and hip hop styles taking full advantage of college dance. We are not surprised to learn that Lauren is also involved in the dance club on Chapman campus. She has been on the dance club's executive board as social chair and has choreographed numerous routines for their seasonal shows and performances. After completing her degree, Lauren plans to teach elementary school as well as continuing to teach dance. (Lucky SCPA!) Here is a short message from Lauren: "Dancing is a part of who I am, it has made me confident, created some of my best memories, and made it possible to meet the most amazing people. Dance has brought me so much joy for as long as I can remember. My passion for expressing myself, creating art through dance, and just having fun while moving has only gotten stronger. My passion has especially grown from just loving dance to also a passion for sharing what I love and guiding young dancers to fall in love with dance in the way that I have!"

< Back Sierra Tanji Faculty: Tap Sierra Tanji grew up dancing at SCPA and then moved on to graduate from Cal State University Long Beach with a Bachelor of Science in Dance Science. She has always been interested in injury prevention for young dancers, and one day intends to further this career in kinesiology. However, she also has a strong drive towards movie musicals, and bridging the gap between narrative film and dance film. Sierra recently choreographed, starred in, and co-directed a dance short film called "C'est LA Vie" which premiered at the Long Beach Art Theater and will be featured in more film festivals coming up in 2024. In 2023, Eliza Loran and Tanji created a theatrical concert dance work titled "1:23 AM 4th & Cherry Ave." which fuses vaudeville acting, tap dance, and contemporary dance to form a silly and joyous performance piece. This work won them "Best Performance” at the 2023 Socal Dance and Choreography Dance Festival. Sierra is trained in a variety of dance forms including, tap, contemporary-modern, jazz, hiphop, and ballet. Tanji tries to blend the variety of skills she has in order to create unique and new work to further the art industry in LA film and concert dance. South Coast performing Arts was her second home growing up and she is thrilled to be coming back to create new experiences for the current dancers and students to learn from! Love you SCPA FAM!

< Back Julie Rhoton Artistic Director Julie has been a dance educator for over forty years. Before joining us here at SCPA, she owned her own successful dance studio: Inspirations Performing Arts Center, located in Moreno Valley, well known for its quality of dance instruction. After thirteen years in business, Julie closed Inspirations PAC and took time off to travel, teach and judging dance competitions. Soon, she began to miss studio life and found her way to us and accepted the position of SCPA's Artistic Director. Twenty years have passed since Julie started here at South Coast Performing Arts and we wouldn't change a thing. Julie is family to us and we share the same philosophies about dance, the development of dancers and studio life in general. Though we have created numerous Programs together, Julie is especially excited about our SCPA Fundraising Program where we highlight a non-profit charity with an annual fundraising campaign, partnering with our studio families and dancers to do good in the world together! #taliastrong #SCPAstrong #dancersmakingadifference In 2018, Julie's Tribute dance for our Talia: 'Saturday Smile' was nominated as a Industry Dance Award finalist for Best Lyrical, Modern, Contemporary Performance. Besting this acknowledgement was having "Saturday Smile" being invited to perform in the actual Industry Dance Awards show night! SCPA and our Saturday Smile dancers shined on this special night! In addition to studio life, Julie partnered with Keri LaGrand to author a 'Stretch and Strength' syllabus for dance educators. With the success of their first syllabus, two more syllabi's were created: "Advanced Stretch and Strength' and "Crazy Hard Exercises". As a prominent dance educator, Julie still travels teaching Master Classes emphasizing fundamentals of technique and using technique as an access for expression. Dancers that Julie has trained have worked in videos, commercials, theatre, film, television, have become professional choreographers and more than a few have opened their own dance studios. Though Julie has won numerous honors and accolades over the course of her career, what is closest to her heart is inclusion. Creating a space where children and young adults can feel a sense of belonging, to be themselves, in a nurturing, challenging and supportive environment through dance. Dance studio life is pretty wonderful, and so is our Julie! julie@southcoastperformingarts.com
