From the reviews

Both my daughter and son have attended LDA over the past two years and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The school offers strong and clean techniques across multiple genres (ballet, tap, jazz, and modern) -- they see the kids not with "dance training tunnel vision" but within a holistic view point,…

Dance Lakewood is a positive, inclusive, and creative studio of teachers and students alike. It allows every student to find their personal interests and styles while collectively bringing everybody together to have fun dancing.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Mar 2026

Instructors are on top of it with getting the kids to listen. The waiting area does get hot but the kids are having fun and learning a lot about rhythm and following instructions. Would highly consider if your child just wants to start something. They do have a nice spacious Acro room the kids can use.

Your first ballet class at Dance Lakewood

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
