HOUSTON [February 24, 2016] – Houston Community College (HCC) is delighted to announce that Lauren Anderson, former principal dancer with Houston Ballet and HCC alumna, will teach a master class at the HCC Visual Performing Arts Center of Excellence.
In her more than 20-year career with Houston Ballet, Anderson brought virtuoso technique and a fiery intelligence to performances that thrilled both audiences and critics around the world.
