Reviews of Lincolnshire Academy of Dance
"Lincolnshire Academy of Dance (LAD) is the best studio ever. The instructors teach excellent technique in all styles of dance, are extremely experienced, and many of them still perform, choreograph, or direct in the industry. LAD's environment is positive and loving, and all of the instructors are personally interested in the physical and emotional well-being of all dancers, as if they are their own kids. My daughter took dance lessons for 15 years. When it came time to switch studios halfway through her career, she considered four other studios. Some taught good technique but the environment was toxic, or there was not enough focus on technique and too much focus on competitions, or they made you choose between the studio or high school activities rather than allowing both, or the dress code was not professional in the studio and on stage. Only LAD was highly recommended by one of my daughter's directors at the time. We read all of the LAD instructor bios to learn about the depth and breadth of their experience, attended a recital, and my daughter took a summer class. She was sold, switched to LAD year round, and traveled an hour roundtrip to get to/from the studio for many years. LAD was life-changing for my daughter. She found her passion and the joy of dance, thrived in a positive environment, and also made amazing memories and friendships that she'll cherish forever."
"Our children have been a part of LAD for the past 3 years and we couldn’t be happier to call LAD our second home! From the other kids and their parents, to the teachers and all members of the staff, it is truly an organization based on integrity. On top of having great teachers who focus on teaching our kids the proper fundamentals, it doesn’t stop there. We love the values that are passed along to our kids which starts all the way at the top with the owner, Brenda Didier. We appreciate her commitment to making LAD a very respectable dance school and keeping those values strong. I highly recommend LAD to everyone in our community!"
"Amazing dance studio! My son took hip hop classss here when he was a teenager and both my daughters have taken classes - and my youngest has really developed a passion for dance and has been part of the LAD ensemble/Company program for the last 3 years. LAD has whatever you are looking for a if you just want to try a class or two or a close knit community of dancers that love to dance very day of the week. It has amazing instructors that the dancers love and really motivate the dancers to learn and grow (all while having fun). I feel lucky to have found LAD!"
"Amazing, special place, Lincolnshire Academy of Dance (LAD)! Our daughter is in her 9th year at Lincolnshire. We know enough now about dance and dance studios to know how lucky we are--the facilities are great and the staff treats students and parents like family. What amazes me about LAD is that they somehow provide it all--whether you child (daughter OR son) wants to take 1 class just for fun, or whether your child seeks excellent, technical, professional instruction for recitals, competition and beyond, LAD provides it. They have zero turnover in staff, and they are strong in literally every dance type. When teachers are happy, it reflects on the studio, and LAD has buzz about it that it positive and noticeable. Some places focus solely on their competitive companies, and some focus mostly on 1 or two types of dance. LAD truly provides it all, and ALL types of dancers (from casual to serious) feel like they belong and are respected. That is unusual for dance studios. LAD keeps everyone happy and working. What is also unusual for LAD (and they are growing as more and more Northshore families leave other studios to come to LAD) is that they keep dancers coming all the way through Sr year of High School (and beyond--college and pre-professional LAD alum dancers visit constantly--they can't stay away). There is a strong mentor mentality with the older students that provides additional support for the young dancers. The June recitals are truly special. Whether you are parents of a young child or older student wanting to try something new, come to LAD--you and your dancer(s) won't be disappointed!"
"My children have gone to the Lincolnshire Academy of Dance for 3 years now. I have never had my kids exposed to such a nurturing learning environment. The teachers are extremely talented, know their craft so well & know how to effectively convey to all age groups. My kids retain & excel each & every year. Their interest in various dance classes grow & I truly fell that my kids are loved here. I will continue to enroll my kids in the Lincolnshire Academy of Dance for years to come. This is definitely the place to go in the North Shore for dance classes of all sorts & for all ages."
