Lake Shore Dance has competed since our start in 1994. Competitive Dance provides dancers with the opportunity to have more stage time, learn from different choreographers, and embrace the thrill of performing for audiences and judges from around the country. Competition dancers develop strong bonds and relationships with their teammates. Dancers that really want to be the best they can be and that love to dance excel on our teams.

The Nutcracker Ballet tradition continues at Lake Shore Dance! Children work with our talented faculty staging the ballet and experiencing the excitement of bringing a magical world to life! Children age four and over come together to whisk you away on a journey through the "The Land of the Sweets". This is an experience that your child will cherish for a lifetime.

Our program uniquely focuses on training first. We believe that the most versatile and dynamic dancers study a full spectrum of dance types. In addition to ballet and pointe, Lake Shore Dance offers cutting edge classes in the classical forms: Jazz, Tap, Modern/Lyrical/Contemporary. In addition to our core programming, Lake Shore Dance brings in a wide variety of Master and Guest teachers to keep the classroom fresh for our dancers.

The first five years of your child's life and the quality of their experiences during this time will affect how they interact and learn as they grow older. That's why we have crafted your child's class with their development in mind. At Lake Shore Dance your child will thrive in class as they become independent, focused learners with a strong dance foundation and a joy that only comes from a class that engages their mind, body, and creativity.

The accessible format, accompanied by a professional production including vibrant costumes, sets, and lighting, is a cherished holiday tradition for generations of families.

The Summer "Jump Start" happens mid-summer. Students who enroll in the summer session get a head start on their next level of dance and have the additional bonus of consistency even during the summer (and since the session is only 6 weeks, that gives plenty of flexibility for family fun and vacations too!).

Dancers can choose from Ballet, Acro, Hip Hop and lyrical this winter for the 6-week session to break the winter blues.
