This is long, and some may not read it, but thats okay....
Dear LDC Families, Friends, and Community,
I wanted to reach out, speak up, and share that over the past several months, many of you have noticed changes happening around the studio. Some have been exciting, some have been frustrating, some happened quietly behind the scenes, and for others, we understand that there may have just been confusion about who we are today.
We wanted to take a moment to share our story and say...Welcome to the new era of Live Dance Create, LLC!
Under New Ownership:
Formerly known as Laveen Dance & Cheer and Laveen Dance Dynasty, the studio has officially transitioned into an entirely new company. The previous business was Sold, and Live Dance Create, LLC is now proudly owned and operated by Kiva & Regi Hollywood, and while we still lovingly use the acronym LDC, nearly everything else has been thoughtfully rebuilt from the ground up, and NO, we are NOT closing. Ever.
We are now thriving as:
Live Dance Create, LLC
Home of Dance, Cheer, Tumbling, and our newest addition, Pageantry!!
When we purchased the business, we quickly realized that many of the systems, processes, and communication methods needed to be modernized. Rather than simply continue doing things the way they had always been done, we chose to reimagine what a dance studio could be.
We have been incredibly busy, not just changing a name, but building a stronger foundation for every family who walks through our doors.
It hasn't been easy, but we are proving resilient!
What's New:
One of the biggest accomplishments has been the creation of our very own LDC Studio Manager App. Designed with parents in mind, this new platform makes managing your dancer's experience easier than ever straight from your phone. While it will remain in beta for approximately six months as we continue improving it, it is already live and working beautifully. We are so excited for what it will become.
Our programs have grown tremendously.
Live Dance Create is now proudly a Recreational, Competitive, Pre-Professional, and Professional Dance Studio. Whether your child dances simply because they love it or dreams of a career in the industry, we have a place for them!
Our new family of instructors are not only passionate teachers, they are accomplished dancers themselves. Our team includes current and former Phoenix Mercury & Phoenix Suns Dancers, Az Cardinals Cheerleaders, and Mrs. Kiva was with the Seattle Seagals for 4 years! Everyone on our roster are highly trained industry professionals who bring real-world experience into every classroom.
So rest assured that your children will absolutely have fun here!
Proper Technique Matters:
They will also be challenged, encouraged, inspired, and equipped to grow into confident, technically strong dancers with evaluations in place for advancement.
We've also introduced a completely new attire system designed to support proper technique while creating a polished, unified look throughout the studio.
- Ages 2–6: Pink
- Ages 7–9: Lavender
- Ages 10–12: Teal
- Ages 13–17: Black
Even better, every new $65 registration fee includes a custom Live Dance Create leotard and shorts.
Dance isn't just for children anymore, either.
Calling All Adults 18+:
Our Adult Dance Program has become something we're incredibly proud of. Adults can now enjoy Ballet, Tap, Hip-Hop, Contemporary, Tumbling, Sass, LatinX, and Line Dancing in a welcoming, and encouraging environment. Come find your people and your creative outlet!
Punch Cards are available!
Dance Affordability:
One thing that will never change is our belief that every child deserves the opportunity to dance.
Because of that belief, we've developed programs that help make dance more accessible for families, including:
• December Scholarship Auditions for 3 scholarship recipients
• Boys Dance at 50% Off Tuition
• Monthly Fundraisers
• Anti-Bullying Community Dances, where proceeds fund an entire dance season for two students who have experienced bullying
• ESA (Empowerment Scholarship Account) Vendor Services
• Arizona Friends of Foster Care Vendor Services
• FluxTuition, our innovative tuition model designed to help committed dancers save families thousands of dollars over time.
Our Culture:
Beyond our programs, we've made a commitment to something even more important:
At Live Dance Create, we have raised the standard in communication, professionalism, organization, accountability, transparency, and service.
We believe parents deserve clear communication.
Students deserve consistency.
Families deserve honesty.
And every child deserves to be surrounded by adults who genuinely care about helping them succeed.
The atmosphere inside our studio today is imaginative, energetic, welcoming, passionate, organized, and thriving.
Representation Transparency:
We are incredibly proud to be a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Indigenous-owned, Female-owned, and LGBTQIA-owned small business.
More importantly, we are a studio built on integrity, kindness, respect, and genuine love for children.
Dance changes lives.
We see it every single day.
Whether a student is taking their very first class or preparing for a professional career, we promise to pour our hearts into helping them become not only stronger dancers, but stronger, more confident human beings!
Thank you to every family that has trusted us during this exciting season of growth. Things are different now...the look, the feel, and the vibe. We understand that change is hard, but in this case, change was Very necessary!
Your patience, encouragement, and belief in our vision have meant more than words can express, and we truly believe the best is yet to come!
With gratitude,
