WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Every time my daughter walks out of a session with Lauren, I see the best version of her—grounded, inspired, and connected to her love of dance. Lauren’s mentorship has not only strengthened Sophia’s artistry but helped her build the mental resilience and self-belief to thrive on and off stage. The transformation has been extraordinary—from placing last to winning top awards and radiating joy and confidence while performing. I am beyond grateful for the way Lauren teaches, leads, and deeply invests in her dancers. She is doing exactly what she was meant to do.”

“What Lauren brings to our dancers is the missing piece. The skills they build with her show up everywhere: in auditions, on set, in how they train and carry themselves. This generation is under so much pressure, and Lauren gives them the tools to handle it with confidence and self-trust. Honestly, this is the kind of training we all wish we had growing up.”

“Lauren has been an extraordinary mentor in my life and career for over a decade. Her guidance, strategic insight, and deep understanding of the dance industry have been absolutely pivotal in helping me achieve a successful professional career as a dancer. Through her mentorship, I gained access to networks, resources, and coaching that I would not have been able to access otherwise. Lauren has a rare and powerful ability to nurture talent while empowering artists to set clear goals and follow through with confidence. Without her unwavering support and mentorship, I would not be where I am today. She is a transformative force for anyone striving to achieve meaningful personal or professional growth.”

Courtney Sproule
Studio Director
“Bringing Lauren into our studio has been one of the best investments we’ve made. She’s helped our faculty align around shared values and expectations, and brought our parent community into the conversation in a meaningful way. The results speak for themselves—92% retention and a culture we’re proud of. It’s not just better dancing; it’s a stronger, more connected studio.”
“With my whole heart, I want you to know you are not just a dancer. You are not valuable because you dance. You are a human, an artist, a creator, a connector whose energy is contagious and soul is brilliant.
