“LRAD also really improved my technique and artistry.”
From the reviews
Janessa is definitely awesome! Thank you for taking the time to explain everything. The communication with Sarah is also smooth and fast via email. We were not able to go inside but what I saw through the window looked like a great class.
I danced here for 3 years and loved the experience! Friendly teachers, and unlike other dance studios, the atmosphere isn't negative or competitive. LRAD also really improved my technique and artistry. A great place to learn technique and make friends!
Amazing dance studio! I love dancing there. The competition team is loving and not competitive with each other. The teachers push you to be better while still being encouraging and friendly.
I took a couple tumbling and lyrical classes and people are so nice and friendly they really helped me. Their conditioning class is also realy helpful I love it soooooooo much
Your first ballet class at La Roche Academy of Dance
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.
