Lauren Hughes
Owner & Lead Dance Educator
Lauren Hughes is an Cobb County native who began dancing at age three. Her love of movement grew into a lifelong passion for dance education, performance, and choreography. Lauren developed her training through Brenau University, where she studied dance education and gained experience in ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, modern, and contemporary styles.
After years of teaching, choreographing, and mentoring young dancers, Lauren founded Jewels School of Dance with a clear mission: to create a studio where every student — regardless of background or experience — has the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine.
