"Karen Andrew rocks my world when I need a dose of grounded, full bodied, visceral jazz. Her unique style is like no other I have encountered and when I am in her class I feel at home."
Geordan Coupland (Ryerson Dance Program /Graduate, Certified Pilates Instructor)

"…. Karen the workshop helped me so much, not only to focus my energy in the right places, but technique and confidence as well. I think my audition with Disney would have gone so much different had it not been for you and all your support and talents. Again, thank you very much!"

Tiffany Lesko (Actor, Singer, Dancer) (Celebrity Cruise Lines)
"What a great week! Karen, in just five days you have truly inspired me. I love to dance, and you've reminded me to count on that and to work with what I've got. "Navel to spine", I've been hearing that in my thoughts all week and it's such a revelation for me! Thanks so much for all of your thoughts, ideas, and inspiration. You've truly touched me and all you've taught. I'm looking forward to the next workshop!"
Lee-Anne Galloway (Actor, Singer, Dancer) (Holland America Cruise Lines)

"Karen Andrew's class is a therapeutic place to be. It has challenged me both mentally and physically and has proven countless times to show positive results in my dancing. You learn a lot about your body through her unique breathing concept, as well as gain a tremendous amount of personal feedback on every aspect of your dancing. You improve your technique, story telling through performance, and overall become more confident with yourself!"
Joseph Sevillo (Actor, Singer, Dancer) ('Mama Mia' Musical) Toronto
"…I have been training with Karen for almost two years now. Her philosophy of dance has opened my heart, soul, and body. Taking her class is unlike others. The intensity of her passion for the art, the brilliance of her technique and her dedication to students, is what makes her such an exceptional person and teacher. With Karen, you not only nurture the technique and the artistry of this thing we call dance, but you connect with the reasons why we all chose this crazy career; because we love it. It is a spiritual experience that is truly beneficial and inspiring."
Natalie Krill (Actor, Singer, Dancer) ('42nd St' Musical) Germany (Film and Television) Toronto
"…. If you want a class that engages your entire body, Karen's class is it! From the minute you begin the warm-up until the end of the combination, you become aware of a unique way to move through the choreography that involves your entire, body, and soul."
Stephanie Schram (Dancer) (Industrials) Toronto
"Karen Andrew's workshops have taught me how to go from a tense, unsure, less than confident dancer, into someone who discovered her talents, learned how to relax, and become more confident in performance. Karen has amazing qualities not only as a teacher, but as a person in general. She is so genuine and truly wants to help anyone who steps into her studio. She really knows how to bring the best out of anyone, whether it's in performance, or just self improvement."
Michelle Gompf (Dancer and Fitness Instructor) Toronto
