From the reviews

Lorna Badon Legacy Dance Centre has been a wonderful studio for my daughter to learn about dance. Lorna Badon builds not just dance knowledge and skills, but develops their character, and self-esteem. Alice and her team are incredible examples to the dancers.

★★★★★ — Felicia, Jun 2025

My children have attended dance at this studio for 8 wonderful years! The studio owner and her staff are a family and they welcome all children with open arms. They have made the studio a loving second home for my kids while using their extensive training to provide a top of the line dance education.

Your first ballet class at Lorna Badon Legacy Dance Centre

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.
