LDP Programming
We have so many amazing programs at LDP to provide a place for every dancer to learn, grow and thrive. From 30 min a week to 15+ hours we have the right program for you! Take a look at the full scope of LDP and your dancer’s opportunities through their dance journey.
The Cutie Club program holds a special place in our hearts as it is for our youngest dancers. From 12 months old, in our Boogie Buddies class, to 2nd grade, we get to watch these little ones fall in love with dance for the first time. This program performs in both Winter Wonderland (Fall Session) and the Annual Review (Spring Session). There are a variety of classes like Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acro, and Contemporary Fusion.
Our Club level is for the dancer who is in 3rd through 12th grade and wants to start their dance journey. Club dancers may enroll in as few or as many classes as they desire. All Club dancers have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of dance in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop and/or Acro Dance classes. All of our Club dancers will perform in our Winter Wonderland Show in December, and our Annual Review performance at the end of the season in June.
This program is for the dancer who LOVES to dance and perform. Whether your dancer is looking to prepare to become a competitive dancer or wants extra performance opportunities, this program is for them! Spotlight dancers take 3 hours of dance per week, with 1 hour of it being their SPOTLIGHT class. Along with their Spotlight class, dancers will take 2 additional classes. Our Spotlight dancers perform in the community throughout the season and are featured in LDP’s Winter Wonderland and Annual Review shows.

This program is for dancers who wish to perform and compete but may have other outside activities and interests. Crew dancers train anywhere between 2-10 hours and are given custom training tracks based on age and style. We provide many performance opportunities at this level and introduce dancers to master dance classes with world-renowned teachers and educators. These dancers compete at local competitions, perform in community events, and are featured in their very own show!
Learn more about the Crew program!
Our Company program is a pre-professional program with a special focus on technique and performance. Dancers who should consider this program are those who are passionate and dedicated to taking dance to the next level. With a vigorous training schedule, Company dancers train between 9 and 15+ hours per week, in addition to extra rehearsals and various performances. The time commitment is substantial, and students of this program are supported and nurtured to reach their goals.
Dancers in this program have opportunities to work with master teachers from around the world. We bring in master teachers for choreography of solos, duos, trios, group work, and more! In addition to having extra specialty pieces, dancers participate in a photo shoot, video shoot, internship program, and for our graduating seniors, the senior choreography project.
