Our program is designed to build character, confidence and grace, both mentally and physically, into each and every student.
All classes are structured with allotted time on the barre, center floor, progressions across the floor and combinations.
They are all presented in a positive, encouraging manner stressing direction and discipline.
All classes of all ages learn the proper terminology and technique of the dance steps.
The Dancers are also separated by age and ability, as each age and level learn at a different rate.
Its not boot camp 
however it is structured –but fun.
All dance schools Are Not Created Equal!
L.I.A.D is a fully equipped dance studio with 2 modern locations offering huge separate sound proof studios, dressing rooms and lobbies. Each studio is properly designed with resilient raised oak flooring to eliminate injuries such as shin splints, knee and back problems; proper barre heights for children and adults; full length wall to wall mirrors; high ceilings for jumping; special variable speed CD players; complete CD music library for all forms of dance.
Dance Is Forever Changing And So Are We.
We do not teach the same thing year after year, we build on their technique and incorporate style yearly as the dancers grow.
Stop in to see our video tapes and photos to see the professionalism that is within all of our students.
Beginning with our Nursery Classes our teachers take a special pride in teaching each student with care and individuality.
As the dancers grow so does the curriculum.
Our professional staff of Dance Educators have been selected not only for their own performance ability,
but more importantly because of their exceptional ability to communicate their skills to our students/your children.
Our school is proud to say that,we do not have student teachers,
there is just one qualified professional teacher in each class which is limited to the amount of students.
