His work has been presented across the United States through the National Dance Education Organization, the Dance Studies Association, and the Laban/Bartenieff Institute for Movement Studies. As a teacher, Lóri facilitated seminars on art/dance as politics, urban design, and creative choreography in summer programs at Yale University and Columbia University. 

He earned a BA in Dance magna cum laude from Hamilton College, with departmental honors, and an MA in Dance from SUNY Brockport, where he received the Graduate Student Service Award and was an Omicron Delta Kappa inductee in creative and performing arts.
