Kevin St. Laurent
 Kevin
St. Laurent began his dancing career at the young age of eight years.
Though initially reluctant, his mother ('Thank you Mom') insisted he "try
it" for a little while. He's been 'trying' it ever since. His
initial 3 years were spent studying tap, ballet, and jazz.
See special photos from the early years.
Kevin has studied a plethora of other dance styles including, Hungarian
Couple Dancing, Mexican Folklorico, Contra Dancing, Scandinavian Couple
Dancing, Modern Dance, West African Dancing, Break Dancing, Hip Hop,
Balkan Line Dances (including Bulgarian, Greek, Bosnian, Croatian,
Romanian, Turkish & Serbian), Ballroom Standards, Scottish Country
Dancing, and a few others to boot.
Kevin teaches and performs regularly all over North America, Europe, & Australia.
