"This studio is warm, welcoming, inclusive and adaptable to everyone's needs and levels of dance. Lauren is a phenomenal teacher who makes you feel like you are a dancer the second you walk in the door. An excellent and beautiful studio!"
Andrew Read

"Lauren is a diligent and experienced teacher and choreographer who caters to all levels with an encouraging and professional manner. I don't think of myself as much of a dancer but with these classes I've seen great strides in my abilities. Classes never fail to put a smile on my face and leave me feeling excited for the next week. A fantastic experience that I'd recommend to anyone interested in dance!"

"Lauren is very helpful and encouraging. Honestly I have had so much fun here! A 45-min lesson puts all my stress and unhappiness behind. If you're seeking for passion, love and happiness, please join in this studio. It's lovely and all the dancers are very friendly as well."

"I recently worked with Lauren for a music video that I directed. From day one she was proactively engaged with all cast and crew to develop the best choreography for the video and perfectly brought my vision to the screen.
For filmmakers looking for a dancer/choreographer for a project, I can not recommend Lauren enough for the job. She works perfectly in a team, understands what looks good on camera and is just a joy to work with!"

Isaac Owen
Director NBCS presents The Little Mermaid (2018), High School Musical (2019)
"Lauren's technique choreographing High School Musical (2019) and The Little Mermaid (2018) was superb, and she gained a warm rapport with the cast. She was passionate about each moment, understanding the connection between dancing, story, and the elements of theatre.
"A complete package", she also helped with costumes, hair, and boosted cast morale with her outfits and warm-up routines."
Mark Pigot
Musical Director HMS presents The Wedding Singer (2016)
"I had the pleasure of being Musical Director to Lauren's Choreographer for a production of The Wedding Singer a few years ago, and it was a great, collaborative experience.
Lauren's creativity, coupled with attention to detail and work ethic, were all particularly impressive. She also has an all too rare skill of working effectively with dancers of all abilities, tailoring her instruction whilst bonding the group into a unified ensemble.
I would work with Lauren again without hesitation, and very much endorse her as Dance Teacher, Choreographer, and all-round nice person!!"
