L.A. Dance Company Group

L.A. Dance, formally Lora's Academy of Dance LLC, operates at 9815 W Happy Valley Rd in Peoria, Arizona and is in its 21st season serving the Northwest Valley, including Glendale, Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear and Phoenix. The studio trains dancers from first-time beginners through pre-professional company members, placing each dancer in a level where they can build technical foundations at their own pace. The weekly schedule is organized by age band: tap/ballet combination and Hip Hop Flip Flop acro classes for ages 3-5, tap/ballet, jazz, hip hop and beginning acro for ages 5-7 including daytime homeschool classes, ballet, jazz, hip hop and acro for ages 6-9, ballet, jazz, acro and lyrical/contemporary for ages 9-12, and lyrical, jazz, acro, hip hop and collegiate dance team training for ages 12 and up. There is a performance company with its own ballet and technique classes. Students appear in a December holiday show and an annual recital, now in its 22nd year, staged at The Vista. Alumni have gone on to Houston Ballet, Elisa Monte Dance, Steps on Broadway and several collegiate and NFL/NBA cheer and dance teams.
