From the reviews
An absolutely wonderful family owned dance studio that focuses on the whole dancer! Dancers' growth and well-being, not revenue, are the priority. Communication is fantastic, website and social media are always up to date. Fees are comparable to other local studios.
This is an amazing family owned dance studio with talented, professional, and passionate dance instructor's. They truly care about your dancer and their safety. My daughter has danced here the past 9 years and has loved every minute. She has built close friendships with the girls here.
This dance studio is outstanding. The instructors are amazing - so passionate and talented. They make classes super fun for all ages. My daughter's been here since she was 2 and she's grown so much in confidence and skill. Classes are engaging, recitals are fantastic, and the vibes are great.
Love LDA. My daughter has danced here since 6 years old and is now 15. All the instructors and classmates have become a second family to not just my dancer but myself as well. Their costumes are always amazing as well as recital!! You can’t go wrong enrolling your child. Drop in and try a class.
Your first ballet class at La Danse Academie
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.
