From the reviews
I went here as a kid and now my daughter goes here. You get what you pay for though. The program fosters friendships and provides discipline for the kids. The teachers are patient with the kids and really work with the kids to turn out talent. They are body positive and do not tolerate bullying.
We moved to this studio last year and couldn’t be happier! The instructors are gifted and talented teachers that foster love of dance in their students. The students are so welcoming and kind to their fellow dancers. The whole atmosphere feels like family!
We have been at ludo for 4 years. We started in the recreation program and now are part of the competition team. I love this studio and the culture. We were drawn to this studio because of their acrobatics which is not commonly offered.
Best Dance School in town! I’m so glad my girls went here! They learned so much and have pride in what they do! They have gained confidence and gained amazing friends along the way! Training is top notch!
Your first ballet class at Ludovici Dance Academy
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.
