NEW & IMPORTANT

A NOTE FROM MISS KATE M:

I can't believe we are halfway through September already! Fall is my favorite season and I'm looking forward to cooler temps and changing of the leaves...so pretty!

I've been popping into classes and peaking through the windows over the past few weeks and I'm really impressed with the dancers and teachers. They are busy working on their technique and learning new skills.

I had nice chat with a teen ballet class last week about how it's good to fail in each class...that means your trying new things and pushing yourself to new limits. I know that isn't a comfortable feeling for a lot of us, but you know what they say, growth happens outside of your comfort zone!

So hopefully your dancer tried something new this week and while it may not have been "perfect" YET, that the effort was celebrated!

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

With gratitude,

~Miss Kate M

What do we need to wear for class?

• While we don't have a super strict dress code, we do need our students to wear appropriate dance clothing and shoes to class.

• Below is a dress code guide to help get you started.

• The main things we need to see in class:

  • Proper dance shoes for the style of class they are taking.

  • Hair pulled back in a ponytail or bun so it's out of their face.

  • Tighter fitting clothing (with the exception of hip hop) so we can see their alignment and offer corrections.

Where can I get dance wear or dance shoes?

• We LOVE our friends over at Ballera Dance in Brookfield. They will help get you expertly fitted to ensure your dancer has the best dance experience.

• You can also shop online, just note sizing may be tougher.

We appreciate you!!

At LDC we pride ourselves on the fact that we have built our awesome dance community by word of mouth. Would you mind helping us out by leaving us a 5 star review? It doesn't take long, but makes a BIG impact. Thank you!!!
