Learn. Develop. Inspire.
Whether your dancer is just beginning their dance journey, or they are refining their skills after years of dancing, we at LDI promise they will learn something new, develop amazing dance skills, and get inspired in new ways with each new season! At LDI you will find we are more than just a dance studio and we welcome you to join our dance family this season!

We welcome new dancers to try every and all styles the first week! We always encourage trying new things and we do allow schedule changes through December. However, we do prefer and recommend students begin their chosen dance subject(s) closer to the beginning of the dance season to maximize their time for technique, as teachers will begin choreography for recital routines in January.
NEW STUDENTS
Classes will focus on technique, terminology, classroom etiquette, flexibility/strength, and learning to work with their classmates in the first 4 months. The focus is then shifted in January to apply what they learned in the fall to memorizing choreography, developing musicality, working through formations, and building confidence in performance skills. Each class will prepare your dancer to perform in our big year-end recital in June! Classes will always be set in a disciplined yet fun environment with positive, nurturing instruction where our staff will guide each individual dancer to their fullest potential!

This class offers an environment for children to developmentally grow, both individually and socially in a dance class setting. The caregiver plays an integral part in class by providing comfort and modeling participation. Children will learn valuable skills such as listening, taking turns, standing in line, following directions and sequential order. Additionally, activities will explore gross motor skill development and rhythm activities where the adult and child will both follow along with the instructor. This class is a pre-introduction to dance and is a great class to help transition your children into a dance class on their own! Caregivers can be parents, grandparents, nanny's, or any other family member!
