From the reviews
I have been involved with Laura’s School of Dance since it opened – over 20+ years ago!! My daughter danced there starting at age 4 and continued dancing with LSOD until she graduated high school (she even taught there!).
My daughter has been attending LSOD since she was 3. The instructors are wonderful with both my girls who are polar opposite. They are extremely talented choreographers and experienced dancers themselves!!!
A school of winners! Dance team, lyrical, gymnastics, pointe, and hip hop!! Get in on the fun and get moving with LSOD. Two locations in the area and beautiful talented young dancers who will inspire and impress!! Thank you Laura for sharing your expertise with the local community.
My girls have been dancing with Laura's School of Dance for the last 4 years. They have grown immensely in more than just skill. Laura has taught them poise, self-confidence, teamwork, and discipline. She has a great rapport with all of her dancers. Her passion and dedication for this sport shows.
Your first ballet class at Laura's School 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.
