Lauren Clemons is the Owner of FAYPAC and the Owner and Artistic Director of Fayetteville Dance Company (FDC). Miss Lauren grew up dancing in Fayetteville and has taught all throughout Northwest Arkansas.
The dance studio is where Lauren has always felt most at home and she knew from a young age that she wanted to help recreate this feeling for others. Her passion for dance and teaching has allowed her to impact the lives of so many students across NWA. Lauren works hard to create an environment where both her students and staff thrive.
Outside of the studio, Miss Lauren loves to spend time with her husband, Dillon, and their 3 dogs - Luna, Lucious, and Bruno.
Kaylee Franklin is a Fayetteville native who grew up dancing, starting at a very young age and dancing all throughout highschool. Her time in the studio didn't end once she graduated highschool, when she transitioned from student to dance teacher!
