I have known Emily for a couple of years and I am so happy that she has created this space to share her passion for dance. Dance for me has been healing in so many ways and Emily has definitely been a part of that journey. Dance is a way to be present. Practice mindfulness. Connect to your breath. Move your body. Increase your self esteem. And can be the most amazing tool to support mental wellness \u003c3 I have mostly taken classes with Emily and I can truly say - as someone who never thought they would even be close to becoming a person who dances - that she has a way to foster confidence in new dancers. Her teaching style is patient and very thorough. She has also offered a way for me and my preteen daughter a way to connect through dance - something that I will be eternally grateful for :) Whether you have wanted to try a new hobby or have never really considered it, I would definitely try out one of the amazing classes this studio has to offer. All of us dancers started somewhere (for me it was the prettiest lol) but I am so glad that I kept going because it truly has become one of the most healing therapies in my life \u003c3

I am happy to say that I was able to attend Lauren’s classes at the Underdog! I met her in the summer for a group lesson before she was working at the studio and I loved her energy. As soon as I found out that she would be teaching I made sure to register. Her heels class was amazing as it allowed for me to enter a space where I felt competent and supported by other strong women. I was also able to try her chair class for the first time and I’m grateful for her teaching process. She welcomes mistakes and makes the environment very enjoyable with her sense of humour and constant cheering. I must also mention that we recently filmed for the digital showcase and her professionalism throughout the process was exemplary. She goes beyond the efforts of a teacher and I am proud to call her my friend! I was also able to participate in a free drop in class for couples salsa with a good friend of mine. We had a great time and I would recommend to anyone who enjoys being active with their friends and trying new things. Emily is a very kind and patient instructor! She was encouraging throughout the class and created a very warm environment, I instantly felt comfortable. Thank you for providing these opportunities to try new styles of dance it shows how much you want people to enjoy dance!!

Emily is my favourite dance instructor in all of Ontario. I've had some poor experiences with other instructors, with some taking my motivation away from dance, but Emily has always made me excited and happy to dance. She knows how to make classes fun, and she has some snazzy moves she shares with us that we can easily recreate at home. Hands down, my rating for her is a solid 5 stars. She's the best, and even if i have to travel an hour to get to her, it's worth it for me completely.

I signed up for my first class because Lauren was a friend of mine and I had always been amazed by her routines in university. Little did I know that I would fall in love with chair and heels! Lauren and Emily provide such a safe space for women to try something new, build self-confidence, and boost your body image. I always feel welcome and accepted for who I am in the classes even though I had almost no dance experience before my first class. I highly recommend Underdog for all women!

Emily has always been an amazing instructor and an inspiration. She pushes me to go outside my comfort zone and really own my moves! Always look forward to seeing what else she has in store for her classes!

Signed up for Lauren’s heels class level 1 with my neighbour, and as every beginner I was nervous. Also, through the pandemic it’s been hard to find a sense of belonging. However, all that disappeared class after class. Lauren provides a safe and empowering space for us to build great confidence, love ourselves, and encourage everyone else too, helping to grow together week to week. By the end of week 5 it was so satisfying to have completed a spunky, sexy choreography. The choreography was fun yet challenging enough to really see what we are capable of. The space it’s self is cute and quaint. The lights are a fun addition. Great big windows makes it feel so open. Super excited to begin the next level of heels! Thank you Lauren and Emily for bringing this opportunity to Waterloo!

What an amazing place to be. My nights at the studio are always the highlight of my week! The classes I have taken with Emily, Lauren and Irina so far have really been my saving grace during this pandemic. The studio is doing everything it possibly can to maintain our safety while still allowing us to pursue our passions for dance. Emily is a great instructor and genuine, kind human, who is clearly passionate about all things dance. I love that she encourages diversity and exploration so that everyone can find their unique style. Every week we learn something new and try a different style, making every class a new, exciting adventure. Lauren is the queen of self-love and attitude in her dance, always encouraging us ladies to be ourselves and not care what anyone else is doing or if they are watching us. I was nervous to take her heels class because I have never danced this style before. Because of Lauren, I LOVE heels and feel EMPOWERED to embrace my femininity. Thank you, self love queen! With a background in competitive dance, I can say that Irina's stretch classes are top notch. The stretches are simple enough to do at home, but also thorough so you know they are making a difference. Irina provides plenty of adjustments to suit whatever your flexibility level, or to accommodate any injuries you may have. If you are wondering whether to become a member, DO IT! You will not regret this life-changing experience. The Underdog studio now feels like home to me. Thank you so much to everyone on the team for all of your hard work and dedication \u003c3
