From the reviews
This dance studio is the first of its kind in Southwest Louisiana. Qualified experienced instructors, professionally installed sprung floors, barres, and mirrors. Dance instruction focusing on proper techniques for future college study or professional career.
Katelyn’s mat classes are Pilates art and science - a creative combination for an excellent workout. Each class I attend is a unique mix of mat work combined with great instruction and correction - all helping me to get the most benefit from each session.
Katelyn is extremely knowledgeable and fun! She tailors my private reformer sessions to meet my needs. I also love mat class. I had major hip surgery several year ago and my time with Katelyn is so beneficial for maintenance. Pilates is the perfect compliment to my yoga practice as well.
Dance Conservatory of Louisiana is an amazing dance studio. Katelyn is a wealth of knowledge and has provided a creative environment that teaches proper technique and various genres of dance. We have been so pleased and we are looking forward to the very bright future!
Your first ballet class at Dance Conservatory of Louisiana LLC
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
