Live Piano Music and excellent teachers
Simply the best instructors, kids, and parents.
Their training is great for classical ballet dancers. Children can have a solid technique of ballet, manners and great friends. I looked at several studios before I enrolled my daughter. I am so sure this is the best.
Looking forward to another Nutcracker and seeing the dancers continued improvement!
They Rock!!!
I have witnessed the transformation of dancers who started at age 4 1/2 to dancers that started in their early twenties. Lauridsens offers a program structured to facilitate the growth and health of strong dancers. The Alumni are proof that when one is adherent to the program, dancers are made.
They offer the best ballet training you can ask for on the west coast.
Lauridsen dance centre is amazing!
Excellent training for serious ballet dancers and also for those interested in ballet as an avocation. The teachers are very knowledgeable and I've improved a lot since training there. The advanced dancers are incredible!
I've seen the work they do
I have been going to various shows from a lot of different companies. My grandson has been is a lot of them and this is the most professional, more than that, best performances I've been to. My grandson's improvement, and the others I've been following, have been incredible. I love their performances and interpretations.
