🎭 beautiful recitals & performances 2 mentions

“I have always appreciated that they teach skills and fundamentals rather than just memorizing choreography for performances - which makes them better performers in the long run.”

From the reviews

I love Leaping Lizards been going there for almost 7 years and all the teachers are amazing Especially Taylor and Cecily. These are for sure must have teachers.

★★★★★ — Bethy, Feb 2013

The teachers are nice. More important is that they are quite attentive to the children and help them perfect their form as the child is dances the length of the studio. I would recommend this studio to anyone. During this pandemic time, the parents are required to watch through the window from outside of the building.

Your first ballet class at Leaping Lizards Performing Art

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.
