Laura Leah Michael is a music, dance, and healing Artist that has relocated to Boulder from New York City. She grew up between South Florida and Israel, and spent most of her life in Florida. From before she was talking Laura was singing, and dancing not too long after! She took a few years of gymnastics, and had taught herself to play piano by ear at around age 6. At 13 she started songwriting, and at this time, music and the dance floor became Laura’s great “escapes” into love. Which led to her first recording at age 15. She picked up a guitar and learned to play her songs to perform live at 16, and began exploring music production and collaborating with producers and artists in the South Florida area. Always intrigued by the profound connection of the Soul-Body-Mind, Laura started learning about the chakra system and meditations at around age 18. Around the same time, in 2002, Laura took up Belly Dance, as that was a dream she had from when she was very little. She studied with South Florida’s well-known Maja “The girl from the Nile” off-and-on until 2009, and in 2010, taught Belly Dance to kids and high school girls, and loved it! In 2012 she continued her journey into Body-Mind integration, becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Florida, and delving deeper into the healing arts. Her dance in this phase poured out onto many a 5Rhythms and Miami conscious movement floors. Now she is excited to bring all that with her to Boulder in this next phase of bringing it all in a big way! =)
