Lori is from Corpus Christi, Texas. Her schools include W.B. Ray High School. She later attended Southwest Texas State University, San Marcos, TX. She works(ed) at Self Employed. After a stay at South West Texas (gymnastics scholarship) I began my career as a ballroom dancer / instructor . I found the perfect career! It was something I had never dreamed that I could of making a living doing. I have spent the past 30 plus years in the Ballroom Dance indrustry. During this time , I had a professional dance partner. We traveled quite a bit competing professionally, also I would dance in pro /amerure with my students. Eventually (15 years or so ) I decided to settle down a bit. I began to manage Fred Astaire Studios. I worked for the home office, I would travel to cities that were about to open a new franchise and train their staff. This meant I took them from not knowing how to dance, to teaching and selling dance lessons. The process took about 6-9 weeks.of strenuous work! I eventually married a man in the dance business and had 2 children. We danced together with our kids ,competitions,shows, and exhibitions. They eventually grew tired of all of it, especially the long rehearsals ...Expand for more
