From the reviews
Leading Edge Academy of Dance is a stunning facility with an incredible Director! Noline has created an empowering environment that dancers can focus on the art and technique of dance. Noline has years of experience and as her student, I continue to learn and improve through each class.
My daughter joined Ms. Noline’s studio as soon as she opened last Spring. We have been impressed from day one! Her unending positive energy is such a breath of fresh air. This is a demanding, yet joyful and inspiring place to cultivate a love of dance. And Ms.
Amazing customer service and talented staff members. Multiple programs are available to choose from. So happy that we have this studio added to our community. My daughter enjoyed every minute at the studio. I recommend this place to all my friends and family.
LEAD's School Director/Founder, Noline Edmond has dedicated her work to develop and train young dancers to not only find the joy of dancing, but also help them to have the right mindset to pursue their dance journey.
Your first ballet class at Leading Edge Academy of Dance (L.E.A.D.)
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.
