Reviews of Ultimate Steps Dance Studio (Dance School)

Alana Hopson

Ms. Lauren is the BEST! She worked with my students to create a really awesome dance that was age appropriate and met all their ability levels. Her lessons are high energy and the kids LOVE her. She is positive, encouraging and creates an environment that allows all students to learn and challenge themselves. Having Ms. Lauren in to teach dance has been one of my favourite learning opportunities for my students.

I can't say enough about Ultimate Steps Dance Studio! Owner and Dance Teacher Lauren goes above and beyond to create a welcoming environment for dancers of all levels. My daughter loved mini-dance classes, the summer princess camp and can't wait to start taking ballet and jazz this fall in the new studio! I recommend this dance studio to everyone I know because Lauren's positivity is contagious and your child will love every minute dancing their hearts out!

Lauren Tasker is an AMAZING dancer, let alone, dance teacher! All of the students love her and she is truly a wonderful teacher!! I was a ballerina for 20 years, yet I cannot compare to the skills and knowledge Lauren has when it comes to dancing. I would definitely have a lot to learn from her myself! Any child would be lucky to have Lauren as their dance teacher! Her energy is contagious and her talent is speechless. Every child that she works with loves her and adores her. She has a very natural way of making kids feel comfortable and special. As a kindergarten teacher myself, I know how important that is! Children can't get enough of her. Being a dancer is not easy and can be hard work, but with Lauren as your teacher, the sky is the limit! I am extremely impressed with her organization, positive outlook, dance skills, love for children and motivation. Ultimate Steps Dance Studio is the place to go to!

Last week at the Rhythmfest located in Barrie, Ontario, I had the pleasure of seeing first hand Ultimate Steps Dance Studio. I left the event, very impressed with the teacher, Lauren Tasker. She had an incredible ability to connect to the kids, while encouraging, motivating and supporting them through various movements. One thing that stood out for me was the instructor's love of dance. I look forward to my young one learning from Lauren in the near future.

Can't say enough about this studio. Very well organized and run. All of the teachers are the kind of people you would want as role models for your children. My child has experienced so much growth as a dancer, and as a person. Great job during the shut downs keeping dancers engaged as well.

Stephanie Rose Rea

Ms. Lauren and her staff truly do foster the 'love of dance' in this family oriented dance studio where everyone feels welcome. Little gestures like giving out stickers at the end of class and planning special theme days for the kids keeps the dancers and parents excited and engaged! The special Christmas showcase is also an added highlight. Recreational or competitive Ms. Lauren's message is clear....'life is better when you're dancing'.

Lauren Tasker has been teaching in my Grade 3 class for the last 3 years. My students absolutely love her because she is very motivating and fun! She provides teachers with a rubric to use for assessment and a permission form that you can send home to the parents. She comes into your class for 4 sessions that are 50 minutes in length plus a dance recital where parents can come and watch their child perform. I highly recommend her to come into your school and teach dance. Keep up the great work Lauren!

Stephanie Bell

Excellent instructors. Competitive pricing. Nurturing atmosphere. Clean and bright studio. Fosters pride and confidence in all dancers, at every age and ability. Teacher Lauren went above and beyond to motivate my daughter to keep dancing throughout the closure, offering a variety of genres to explore and instructors to connect with.

Pro Weirdos

Amazing teachers! Lauren really puts the dancers first in everything she does

Katie Donnan

I had the pleasure of seeing Ultimate Steps Dance Studio at Rhythmfest in Barrie this past weekend. Lauren did an amazing job of keeping my toddler engaged and dancing during her stint on stage - not an easy task! Even my 1 year old jumped in and participated, along with so many others. So much fun - great job Lauren!

Pamela Mugford

We held my daughter’s 7th birthday party here and Lauren was AMAZING! The girls had so much fun learning a hip hop dance routine and playing games in the studio. My daughter has also just started going to the weekly classes and loves that experience each week. Thank you Lauren!

Debbie Holdner

Awesome dance studio!!! My daughter loves it there and the dance instructors are fantastic with the kids. I highly recommend Ultimate Steps Dance Studio!

Warren Kirwan

Ultimate Steps Dance Studio (Lauren Tasker) taught dance to my Grade 5/6 class this year and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Lauren was extremely professional in her approach and was very accommodating when setting up a schedule to come to my school. The dance recital at the end of the four sessions was a great idea… and the parents loved it! Lauren provided all the resources I needed for this experience, including a permission form for parents and an assessment rubric for me to use. Her classroom management was fantastic and my students loved every class. Lauren's enthusiasm, knowledge and confidence made every student feel comfortable to participate in an inclusive and safe environment. Lauren was great with the kids. I will definitely be booking Ultimate Steps Dance Studio to come back to my class next year. Thanks, Lauren, for a great experience.

Diana Pellizari

My daughter did the ballet/acro class this past winter with Lauren and she absolutely loved every moment of it! We loved the class combined into 2 so she was learning a little of both. Being so young, she's still learning what activities she enjoys and this was great exposure to both for her. Lauren and her team were wonderful with the girls as well! They taught them some amazing skills and the most adorable dance! We were especially impressed with the end of the season dance recital. What an incredible job they did with all the students and organizing such an amazing showcase! I would highly recommend Ultimate Steps!! Thank you Lauren and your entire team for such a wonderful experience! We look forward to our classes this fall again!

Lourdes Lima

I highly recommend this place. We just finished our first year here after being at another studio for so many years and due to moving and my girls have never been happier. Great place, great people. Everyone friendly makes you feel like home and welcoming. Will be returning again. ????????

Barbara Pike

We recently had Ultimate Dance Steps teach dance lessons at our school. All the teachers were very professional, patient, and showed a lot of enthusiasm. Our students loved learning current and new dance moves and were able to show off what they learned to their parents at the end recital. We had a blast and it really brought our school closer together! Thanks, Ultimate Dance Steps Studio!!

Chelsea Cortopassi

My daughter has been dancing here with Ms Lauren and her team for two years now. From mom and tots to mini dance and will be doing jazz/ballet this next term. Ms Lauren and the other teachers are amazing with the girls(and boys) They show patience and talent in teaching the basics to my daughter. So happy we found this studio, we will continue coming as long as she has the love for dance! Highly recommend!!

My son (6) really enjoyed his weekly hip hop class. This studio put on a really nice end of year recital to showcase all the kids hard work. He loved his teacher Ms. Kathryn. He wishes to return next year.

Miss Lauren is wonderful. Personable and easy to talk to. Studio is welcoming and clean and instructors are fantastic. With all that has gone on during COVID-19 she has been in regular communication about classes and providing options to families that were fair and well planned. A wonderful studio overall and I highly recommend.
