From the reviews
Our children have been a part of LAD for the past 3 years and we couldn’t be happier to call LAD our second home! From the other kids and their parents, to the teachers and all members of the staff, it is truly an organization based on integrity.
My children have gone to the Lincolnshire Academy of Dance for 3 years now. I have never had my kids exposed to such a nurturing learning environment. The teachers are extremely talented, know their craft so well & know how to effectively convey to all age groups. My kids retain & excel each & every year.
Lincolnshire Academy of Dance (LAD) is the best studio ever. The instructors teach excellent technique in all styles of dance, are extremely experienced, and many of them still perform, choreograph, or direct in the industry.
Amazing dance studio! My son took hip hop classss here when he was a teenager and both my daughters have taken classes - and my youngest has really developed a passion for dance and has been part of the LAD ensemble/Company program for the last 3 years.
Your first ballet class at Lincolnshire Academy 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.
