Programs Designed to Grow with your child
Recreation to Pre-Professional – Every Path is Welcome
From Tiny Dancers to Pre-Professional Training, we support your child’s aspiration with age-appropriate technique and mentorship.
Many of our students dance purely for the joy, fitness, and friendships it brings, while others pursue intensive training – both are celebrated here!
We had the privilege of attending Lasley Centre's performance of The Nutcracker in December. WOW — what a spectacular performance, which showcased the very best in from youth to adults!! Staging production of this scale clearly required careful planning, lots and lots of practice and exacting performance. My hats off to staff and students for an awesome production!!"

My granddaughter has been taking ballet at Lasley Center for more than 5 years now! I cannot express enough how special the Lasley team makes her feel. The instructors are both professional and patient and the training that she gets is by far the best!
