The Lauretta Evans School of Dance

You know that game where you have to grab the cup the second you hear “cup”? 👀

Well… we gave it a ballet twist 🩰✨

While the dancers were fully locked in listening, reacting, and trying not to miss their moment, they were also secretly putting in the work. Building focus, sharpening concentration, and strengthening those back muscles to help hold their arms beautifully in ballet.

Because at LESD, even our games have purpose 😉

Now tell me… would you try this in your dance studio?

New week, new moves, new energy 🔥

Start the week on a high note with our Hip Hop class at LESD! Join us this Wednesday at 5PM with Mr. Kelvin ( )at Cheeky Monkey where the vibes are fun, the beats are fire, and confidence grows with every step 💃🏾🕺🏾

Let your dancer kick off the week feeling bold, expressive, and ready to shine ✨

Come catch the vibe!

Today, put our Grade 2 dancers to the test! She picked 3 ballet movements, and the dancers had to tell her exactly what they mean in English 👀

It wasn’t just about doing the steps, it was about understanding them. Watching their faces light up as they remembered, guessed, and even helped each other was everything 💕

At LESD, we don’t just train dancers. We build confident, thinking artists who know their craft inside and out. Because knowing the “why” behind the movement makes every step stronger, smarter, and more beautiful 💫

How many ballet terms do YOU know? 👇🏽😉

Tiny steps, big imagination ✨👑

Our Babies had the sweetest time doing their Princess Walks, gliding, twirling, and practicing their royal posture as they prepared for the ball 💫

At LESD, we believe learning ballet should feel like an adventure, so we turn our classes into magical moments of dress-up, storytelling, and make-believe.

From picking their “gowns” to curtsying like little royals, every exercise becomes exciting, expressive, and full of joy. Because when children are having fun, they learn with confidence and that’s where the real magic happens 🩰💖

Ready to let your little one step into their own fairytale? 👑✨

Turnout is the foundation of ballet technique—it’s not just about how it looks, but how the body works.

True turnout comes from the hips, not the knees or feet. It relies on deep external rotator muscles like the glutes, deep hip rotators, and inner thighs working together to support and control movement.

When turnout is used correctly, it creates strength, stability, and clean lines. When it’s forced, it leads to poor alignment and injury.

At LESD, we focus on building turnout the right way—through strength, awareness, and consistency. 🩰

Growth in ballet comes from being present.

At LESD, attendance is so important to us because it supports each dancer’s journey, helping them get stronger, more confident, and more secure in their technique.
