A great first week back at the barre! 💗

It was so good to see our dancers back in the studio, working hard, reconnecting with friends and getting back into the rhythm of class!

We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season. Here’s to all the dancing still to come! ✨

We’re BACK!

Today officially kicks off our 2026–2027 season, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome our dancers back to the studio!

Here’s to new goals, new memories and another year of doing what we love!

Happy first day of dance! 🩰

Ballet has a language all its own!

Today’s word: Penché.
Meaning “leaning” or “inclined” in French, a penché is a position where the dancer tilts the upper body forward as the working leg extends higher behind them — creating that beautiful, elongated line you see here.

You’ll often see a penché performed from an arabesque, requiring dancers to maintain turnout, extension, balance and control as the body moves forward and the leg lifts behind.

It may look like it’s all about flexibility, but there’s a whole lot of strength, placement and control happening, too!

Just one of the many movements — and ballet terms — our dancers learn as their technique continues to grow. 💗

The studio is almost ready for this again!

Dancers at the barre, music filling the room, familiar faces finding their places and a brand new season ready to begin.

In just a few days, we’ll be welcoming our dancers back to the studio and officially beginning our Decade Season — ten years of learning, growing, performing and sharing a love of ballet together.

We can’t wait to see these studios full again! 💗

Classes begin September 8!

Your birth month, your ballet step 🩰

Every dancer has those steps they love, the ones they could do all day…and maybe a few they’d happily skip. We matched each month with a ballet step and a little personality to go with it.

From pirouettes and grand jetés to tendus and grand battements, swipe through to find yours!

Does your ballet step feel like you?

10 years of ballet — and we’re just getting started!

This season marks a very special milestone for A Leg Up Ballet Academy: our Decade Season!

For 10 years, our studio has been filled with first pliés, big accomplishments, beautiful performances, lasting friendships and countless memories.

And today, we’re officially ONE WEEK away from beginning another year at the barre.

We can’t wait to welcome our dancers back on September 8 and celebrate A Decade of Dance all season long.

Here’s to where we started, how far we’ve come and everything still ahead! 💗

Ballet is about so much more than learning the steps

From building confidence and discipline to improving coordination, posture, flexibility and balance, the benefits of ballet reach far beyond the studio. Each class gives dancers the opportunity to challenge themselves, strengthen their bodies, sharpen their minds and celebrate their progress along the way.

These are skills that don’t stay at the barre. They can help dancers grow in the classroom, in other activities and in everyday life.

Give your dancer the opportunity to grow, move and discover what they’re capable of!
