"I have been training with the Candy Shop for over 4 years and have consistently been impressed by the standard of their teaching and offerings, whether it's themed pop-up classes, technique workshops, performance programs or mentorship programs. Under the guidance of Kaleela and Lauren, I have been able to grow and improve a lot as a dancer and performer - more than I ever thought possible. My self confidence has improved so much from their encouragement. What I appreciate about their programs is that they nurture and help dancers of all levels to reach their goals at their own pace. They create a very welcoming and inclusive environment where students can thrive. Whether dance is a hobby/passion or a career aspiration, they help you become the best dancer you can be. The training is rigorous and they hold everyone to a high standard while providing the necessary support and tools to succeed. Their dedication to their students and professionalism are unmatched. Training with the Candy Shop, you are truly spoiled because Lauren and Kaleela are so organized and detail oriented - everything is very intentional and well thought out and they respect our time and energy. They embody integrity, hard work, creativity and kindness in a way that continues to inspire so many of us. I would trust Kaleela, Lauren, and their wonderful assistance (Jen, Nichola, and Nina) with any aspect of dance training and recommend the Candy Shop for anyone looking to learn from the best!"
