Although my little one didn't end up liking it after a few months, I can honestly say that it wasn't due to anything being wrong here. Miss April is an amazing instructor, and she has so much patience with each and every child that attends. She's very good about communicating with parents and you can tell that she truly has a love for dance.

Love Lyrique...like a second home for us. My daughters moved from an established and extremely large competitive studio after close to five years. At Lyrique, both of my dancers have excelled in Company and they also work assisting the little dancers' classes. Both dancers adore their owner and their instructors, all of whom challenge them and who engage with the dancers in a positive and constructive way. Lyrique has taught the dancers to work together and the art of cohesive dancing. I feel that in this environment, their skills are being honed and that they have become even stronger dancers

We have done mommy and me dance and dance camps and both my girls love Miss. April. She's energetic, creative and fun. I was amazed at all my daughter learned at the Leap dance camp this summer.

My 3 year old daughter did the Leap! ballet camp this month. She absolutely loved it. They had fun activities, did a craft each day, and then learned a little dance routine for their recital. She can't wait to go back.
