"Excellent, very professional dance school in terms of dance. As a mother, I am very happy that my daughter is part of the dance group."

"My daughter joined LPAC last year and I am so impressed with the director, teachers, staff and quality of showcase at the end of the year! Highly recommend."

"My son has been a student at LPAC since 2nd grade and is now a junior in high school. The studio has become a second home to him and my entire family. All the teachers that have taught him have successfully brought out the truly best in him. He has learned discipline, confidence, respect, humbleness and many more traits that a dedicated dancer should possess. One of the most valuable traits that he has been taught is the power to believe in himself by always giving his very best and allowing himself to always step out of his comfort zone. The magic that happens in the studio is one to be commended. Jimmy Locust and his brilliant staff offer many genres of dance. They are all extremely talented and never disappoint because the love and compassion in every teacher and classroom shows every time the curtain opens at the end of each class. The training that is offered at LPAC is like no other. If your child can only think about dancing LPAC should be their second home. It is truly a safe haven for children where they are taught to be respectful and mindful of their peers. My family is so blessed to be part of such a truly amazing dance community. My gratitude for Jimmy and his amazing staff is larger than life ❤️"

"My daughter has been dancing at LPAC for over 10 years. She is now a senior in HS, and plans to pursue dance in college and beyond. The teachers and staff are inspiring, nurturing, and professional. The genuine care and love they pour into these kids goes above just dance! The wonderful staff, students and families have made LPAC a second home. We are forever grateful."

"This is the BEST dance studio! I have 4 children dancing here - 3 girls and 1 boy. I am blown away each year by the quality of the instruction they get from the wonderful teachers. I’m also consistently amazed by Jimmy and his ability to make every child in his studio feel special. He goes to great lengths to speak to all of the dancers, get to know them, and praise them for their hard work. He knows everyone’s name - the dancers, their parents, and their siblings! Everyone is welcome here - we have special needs in our family but at LPAC we feel fully accepted and at home and we have since day one. The staff and other families are welcoming and kind. The older dancers are awesome role models for the younger ones and often will be assistant teachers in the younger classes. The precautions they are taking during the pandemic are second to none. I can’t recommend this place highly enough - we love it!"
