The programs they offer
“My daughter began classes a few days before she turned 5 and I have watched her grow and learn and create meaningful relationships with her peers and her instructors.”
“And beyond that, I came in to dance without any flexibility or coordination and now, I am in the most Advanced level of dance at my high school.”
“Even at my daughter's conservatory, there are very few dancers who have performed such demanding roles as Giselle.”
“This school is dedicated to each student as if you were paying for a private lesson.”
“After just one full year of dance, I was accepted into my first ballet summer intensive with Burklyn Ballet, and the next summer went to Interlochen Arts Intensive (ballet major).”
What families & students say
“My daughter has also benefited from the increased confidence that comes with approaching a difficult discipline and succeeding.”
“Not only do the dancers have amazing, kind, caring teachers but they also instill a sense pride, respect, kindness, and sense of community in their dancers.”
“What does set LBS apart, though, is the extraordinary performance opportunities they offer young dancers through their associated performance arm, City Center Ballet.”
“Being a company member of City Center Ballet gave her numerous performance opportunities where she progressed to the role of principal dancer.”
“With the basic training she got at LBS, my daughter was admitted to high-quality summer programs and ended up at one of the best professional dance conservatories in the country.”
“In almost 2 years, I went from never taking a dance class in my life and being a musical theatre “mover” to dancing with confidence and grace.”
From the reviews
If you are looking for a place for your child (or you!) to get ballet instruction, I highly recommend LBS. My daughter began classes a few days before she turned 5 and I have watched her grow and learn and create meaningful relationships with her peers and her instructors.
This school goes above and beyond. Initially signed daughter up about 5 years ago because it was the closest dance school for us. Not only do the dancers have amazing, kind, caring teachers but they also instill a sense pride, respect, kindness, and sense of community in their dancers.
A wonderful dance school with caring teachers who lead age-appropriate activities and exercises that help even the youngest kids develop skills. It's great hearing your child say, "I love my dance class!"
One user said that they felt the staff was not good with little kids, which doesn't square with our experience at all -- our daughter started there around the age of 5, and the staff were very good with the little 'uns. They do uphold high (but age-appropriate) standards, and maintain the traditions (e.g.
Your first ballet class at Lebanon Ballet School Inc
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.
