Lasley Centre Classes: Ballet

Carrie is an instructor who understands the needs of students, developing artistic awareness, technical soundness and challenging each to achieve their full potential. It is Carrie’s belief that dance is an art form, the expression of ones being and that dancers should be encouraged to pursue the expression of dance to the best of their ability.

Extended Family

Imagine an extended family of dance students, instructors, parents and siblings encouraging and supporting each other. Combine that with professional dancers, committed to sharing their passion, skill and experience with future dancers, who take a genuine interest in each student. Throw in a matriarch that holds it all together with dedication and love. And you have the Lasley Centre for the Performing Arts. We are blessed to be part of this family.

Rediscovered the Joy of Dance

Since beginning to attend the Lasley Centre, I have noticed three significant changes from our previous dance studios: my daughter is taught with love and patience (she is quite energetic), the teachers care about her growth and progress (I have seen each child given one on one within group instruction), but most importantly my daughter has found her joy again. Thank you Lasley Centre, for renewing her joy, and for starting to build a firm foundation from which she can grow.

Learned More in a Few Months than in Years at Previous Studio

My daughter has taken dance for several years at another studio. We started with the Lasley Centre this year on the recommendation of a friend. I am very pleased with the professionalism and knowledge which we have received. My daughter's technique has improved drastically. She has learned more these last few months than she learned in ballet the last two years.

Everything I Had Hoped For

Since starting at the Lasley Centre, my daughters love ballet and I can happily say that we have found the dance community I was looking for. From the professionalism of the teachers to the excellence of dance skills to the fellowship of the students to the community of parents and families, the Lasley Centre is everything I had hoped it would be.

Exponential Increase in Strength & Agility

My daughters have seen an exponential increase in their strength and agility under Ms. Kalie’s instruction. They are both learning truly superior ballet technique at their individual skill levels and gaining experience with other fields of dance as well, through their involvement in the school. As an added bonus, they’ve made great friends in the process!

Better Dancer & Better Person

The Lasleys have been teaching Abby since she was three years old, and have always treated her beautifully. Their expert guidance has helped Abby become a better dancer, and a better person. We could not be more pleased.
