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 4 girls were well trained and well loved at Lasley. We were all devastated when we had to move out of state. The caliber of training is top notch, more importantly, my girls felt like they were at home and with family every time they walked through those doors. It is a rare find and we were privileged to be a part of the Lasley family

We have only been part of the Lasley family for a few months, but we couldn't be happier with our experience. In such a short time, we have already seen tremendous growth in our daughter's dancing and her understanding of proper technique. Just as importantly, she has found a positive, encouraging community where she has built friendships with dancers who challenge and support one another in healthy ways.

Just as importantly, she has found a positive, encouraging community where she has built friendships with dancers who challenge and support one another in healthy ways. Since joining the competition team, she feels included, excited, and proud to be part of a group that truly builds each other up. The kindness and expertise of the Lasley staff are exceptional. They see the potential in each individual dancer and provide the encouragement and guidance needed to help them grow. We were amazed by Lasley's beautiful Nutcracker performance as audience members last year, and we are so excited to now be part of the Lasley community and see what this year brings!

The positive, supportive atmosphere, wonderful friendships, and caring instructors have helped her grow not only as a dancer but also as a confident, poised young woman.

Our daughter has danced at Lasley for eight years, starting at age three. The studio has truly become her home away from home. The positive, supportive atmosphere, wonderful friendships, and caring instructors have helped her grow not only as a dancer but also as a confident, poised young woman. We especially appreciate the emphasis on proper nutrition, injury prevention, strength building, and healthy training habits. The technical instruction is exceptional, and the strong foundation she has built with Miss Kalie and the other instructors has led to her acceptance into three world-renowned summer intensive programs by age eleven. Miss Kalie has a heart of gold and an unwavering commitment to excellence. She has given our daughter a safe place to grow, dream, and thrive, and we are incredibly grateful for the lasting impact she has had on our daughter's life.

The staff care deeply for their students, and are dedicated to ensuring a healthy dance environment for all. Not only is my dancer receiving top-notch training, but we as a family have built relationships that will last a lifetime.
