Tonight's performance was amazing! Ms Jen has again made it possible, the opportunity for all her students to showcase all their talent. And they all rose to the occasion, a true tribute to Jen's love for her students and everything she had done and sacrificed over the last 2 years. Not everyone would have been tight there through it all, her and the teachers having dance class on zoom, offering discounts for struggling families all the while still having to keep paying thebills at the studio. I as a grandma an greatful for my granddaughters Hayley & Aubrey, and 2 nieces have Legacy Dance Academy

Both my girls started dancing and they LOVE their instructors and friends they have made at LDA. The owner is great and communicates well. They have a competition team that my daughter participated in and helped her grow even more as a dancer. It is a really great place for girls or boys who want to take dance lessons.
