Lauren is a Great Falls native who has been dancing since the age of three. Her passion for dance led her to train and compete throughout grade school and high school, traveling across the country and learning from some of the industry's top professionals.
After earning her Bachelor's Degree in Business from Montana State University, Lauren returned home with a dream of creating a positive and inspiring dance community for local dancers. That dream became Montana Elite Dance, where she has spent the past eight years coaching, mentoring, and helping dancers of all ages build confidence, discipline, and a love for the performing arts.
Lauren's favorite part of teaching is watching her students grow—not only as dancers, but as people. Whether she's working with a beginner taking their first dance class or a competitive dancer chasing big goals, she believes every child deserves to feel supported, challenged, and celebrated.
When she's not at the studio, Lauren enjoys spending time with her husband and raising her son, who has quickly become her favorite little sidekick. As both a studio owner and a mom, she understands the importance of creating a welcoming environment where families feel connected and dancers feel at home.
Lauren is proud to call Great Falls home and is grateful for the opportunity to share her passion for dance with the next generation.

Alaina Mattimiro grew up in Hastings, Minnesota and started dancing at the age of 3. What started as once a week recreation classes soon turned into six days a week of training and competing. She has trained in ballet, contemporary, modern, jazz, clogging, musical theater, and hip hop. After graduating from high school, she danced for Iowa State as well as performed with the Joe Goode Performance Group, Chris Black, Deborah Slater Dance Theater, Fellow Travelers Performance Group, and Kristin Damrow and Company. She also choreographed, danced, and competed for the American College Dance Association.
Alaina has a Bachelor’s degree in City Planning and a Master’s in Elementary Education. While she usually isn’t found on stage anymore, after moving to Montana, she knew she had to stay involved - you will now find her at MT Elite sharing her passion and joy for the sport and art of dance. She loves working with our littlest and newest dancers, and seeing them grow into award winning performers. When she isn’t at the studio, she is busy city planning, maintaining her food blog, traveling the country, and growing flowers.
