I have been involved with LBS for quite some time. Two daughters learned ballet there, and each had different and wonderful experiences. While they both took ballet very seriously, for one it was the center of her life for quite a few years, while for the other ballet was a diversion from the stresses of academic work. They both benefited from the… high level of professionalism and discipline. We now have a 5 y/o granddaughter attending, and I am pretty sure her experience will be different at well. The point is that this is a wonderful program that is very serious about ballet, while it

Linda and Susan have been instrumental in my growth as an adult dancer. This school is dedicated to each student as if you were paying for a private lesson. Both have been such an amazing support for my journey and want nothing but dedication to the craft from those who are willing to put in the hard work. In almost 2 years, I went from never taking a dance class in my life and being a musical theatre mover to dancing with confidence and grace. Even if you are looking for a workout, these women cater to all ages and craft each class to the difficulty level in the room, but never make you

Excellent ballet instruction. My daughter has danced here for 10 years and loves it, as well as her friends from LBS. It's been an incredibly important part of her life and we are so happy we have this resource for serious dance instruction.

It was one of the most enjoyable weeks I have spent teaching. The students had outstanding technique and danced with their hearts open with energy and passion. It was a honor to choreograph for this wonderful school and I cannot wait to return. Thank you Susan, Jenn, and Linda.

My daughter Marya trained at LBS for her entire school career. She got excellent training in the fundamentals. The school adheres to traditional practices -- students must show up on time, in proper attire and ready to work -- but I think that most kids understand that this means that an adult is paying serious attention, and I think kids crave this. The performance opportunities are outstanding, too. This place is, as they say, the real deal, and an amazing resource.

My daughter joined the Teen class at Lebanon Ballet School after being away from ballet for a few years. We chose LBS specifically for this class geared towards older, returning ballet students and first time teen ballet dancers, even though the school is an hour and a half away from where we live. It has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. She has learned so much in the last six months.
This school is the real thing - real technique and real skills (with the vocabulary to go with it). My daughter has also benefited from the increased confidence that comes with approaching a difficult
