Lani Morel founded Temecula Dance Company in 1992.  Her background is in special education and business. Lani and her husband Ed incorporated dance classes at their family-oriented health club 33 years ago. Temecula Dance Company has flourished over the years and has grown to serve over 2500 dancers at three studio locations in Temecula and Murrieta, California. Dancers ages nine months to adult seniors receive excellent dance training. TDC provides classes for both the recreational and competitive dancers. Lani attributes the success of the studio to the amazing instructors and wonderful support staff.  The loyal and dedicated instructors and dance families work together to help their dancers grow as young artists and be a positive force in their community.

Community involvement by the teachers and dancers is also an important aspect of the dance program. Opportunities are provided throughout the year for dance families to be involved in a variety of community activities such as feeding the homeless, providing Christmas for families in need or performing at Senior Centers  Dancers are encouraged to always do their best to “Make A Difference”. Lani is a founding Board Member of The Make A Difference Foundation which is a not-for-profit organization serving those in need.
