LADP is committed to creating a place for our families and dancers to feel safe in.

Provided below are the preventive measures we have put into place.

COMBINATION: (Ages 2.5-11 Ballet/Tap/Jazz) (Ages 11+ Contemporary-Lyrical/Tap/Jazz) Our combination classes provide students with a strong foundation in dance technique while developing discipline, grace, poise, coordination, strength, flexibility, and enhance the dancer’s creativity, technical, and performance ability. A separate ballet class is required for all Teen/Advanced combo classes (Ballet is the foundation of dance and is required for all upper level classes)! Primary students perform 2 routines in our annual revue. All other classes perform 3 routines.

HIP HOP: (Ages 4-18)

As one of the most popular forms of dance today, Hip Hop at LADP is a high-energy class teaching student to express themselves through free style movements to help develop their own sense of style. This is a performance class and will perform a routine in our annual revue.

CLASSICAL BALLET: (Ages 6-18)

Ballet is the foundation of all dance. This class is offered for students who desire to further their dance training and technique in classical ballet. This is a performance class and will perform a routine in our annual revue ballet production.

POINTE: (Ages 11+, at teacher’s discretion)

Designed for students with previous ballet training to utilize previously learned ballet technique and concepts while working in pointe shoes with a focus on strengthening the feet and ankles. Previous ballet training required and must be enrolled in Classical Ballet!

CHEER & TUMBLING: (Ages 4-18)

Cheer & Tumbling classes at LADP will train students with the proper technique to excel in the sport of cheerleading and to prepare students for middle and high school cheerleading in a non-competitive environment. This class primarily focus on tumbling, jumps, and motions (no stunts). This is a performance class and will perform a routine in our annual revue.
