Lauren fell in love with dance at a young age, when she began Irish dancing. While attending university, Lauren decided to explore other dance styles through a recreational program offered at her school. It is in this setting that she was introduced to heels and chair dancing! She performed these genres for 5 years, and has been teaching for the last 2 years.  Her favourite part about heels and chair dancing is the empowerment that comes from these classes. There is nothing better than a room full of people supporting and cheering each other on! Lauren’s classes have a strong focus on confidence, body positivity, and providing a safe space for dancers to explore their sensual side. For Lauren, dance has always been an escape from daily stressors and an opportunity for her to get active and make long lasting friendships. She takes these values and embeds them in all her classes in hopes of creating a similar experience for all dancers, regardless of their experience level.
