It\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>Lauren Goossens<\/strong>, our&nbsp;<strong>youngest and fiercest coach<\/strong>, bringing unstoppable energy, years of experience, and a whole lot of heart to the dance floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lauren is just 19 (alright,&nbsp;<em>almost<\/em>&nbsp;20 \u2014 don\u2019t forget to wish her a happy birthday on July 27), but she\u2019s been dancing for nearly as long as she\u2019s been walking. Born and raised in Brasschaat, she grew up in a house full of sports \u2014 with two younger twin brothers chasing football dreams \u2014 but it was clear early on that Lauren\u2019s arena would be the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From age three, one dance class a week just wasn\u2019t enough.
