★★★★☆ — Miriam, Nov 2018

My youngest has been dancing at LBP for seven years and every year, we end up signing up for more classes, performances and dance team numbers because it's been such a fulfilling experience for our dancer AND entire family.

★★★★★ — Laura, Jan 2022

We love this dance school. The whole family has been coming for years. They have all styles of dance, and really work hard to make classes fit with family schedules. It is one of the only dance schools I know of that does a full ballet every year.

Your first ballet class at LBP 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.

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.
