From the reviews

Living Dolls is a loving, warm, dance studio that makes girls feel so welcome! What I think sets them apart is that they’re not only welcoming and kind, but they do things with real excellence and professionalism. I’ve seen my daughter grow so much in such a short time, and she’s always happy & excited to go to dance.

Absolutely love this studio!!! Staff and teachers put 100% of their heart and expertise to the studio. Our daughter loves every second she spends there and feels is like her family. Teachers are so professional and fun at the same time. Choreographies of their shows and competitions are mind blowing!

Amazing Positive Vibes! Martica and Janet have created an amazing atmosphere for all the girls to be their best and I love how they treat everyone who comes through their doors with such grace. It’s a privilege to be part of this wonderful dance studio. My daughter looks forward to every class 🥰

★★★★★ — Gil, Sep 2019

My daughter started dancing at LDDF when she was only 3 years old and now she is 8 and thrilled to be part of the company team. The owners, Janet and Martica, have been incredible since day 1 - always making her feel confident and comfortable while still pushing her to do her very best.

Your first ballet class at The Living Dolls Dance Factory

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.
