From the reviews
There is something truly special about Lafayette Ballet Theatre. As someone who attended LBT in my own youth and now watches my daughter grow there as well, I can honestly say it remains one of the most beautiful and disciplined artistic environments in Acadiana.
My daughter was enrolled in ballet lessons at Lafayette Ballet Theatre Dance Conservatory for three years. She's taking a break to try other things right now, but I hope she decides to go back. The instructors are wonderful, and their rates are affordable.
If you want your child learn real ballet don’t waste time and money looking around in Lafayette!!! This place is old school teachers and they know what they are doing !
Ms. Mitzi and Ms. Shannon are the best ballet instructors in LA. The Nutcracker and spring performances are fantastic. I love sending my child here. :)
Your first ballet class at Lafayette Ballet Theatre
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.
