"At Art of the Dance, students can truly thrive because the teachers honor each dancer’s individual talents. My daughter has made special friendships and has especially benefited from the Artistic Director’s loving guidance.”

"Art of the Dance has enriched my daughters’ lives immeasurably. Through the challenging yet gentle instruction my girls have not only become impressive dancers but have developed a strength and grace that benefits them in all other activities plus they have been given an appreciation of the art! The studio has become a second home to my girls. The other students and teachers feel like an extended family. After nine years they still look forward to every class."

Gretel, Valley Village

"Art of the Dance has become such an essential part of the lives of my daughters.  It is not only a dance school but a second home to them.  For the past six plus years Art of the Dance has taught them to have self- confidence, charm and grace.  The growth that I have witnessed is truly amazing.  The Artistic Director and the teachers have been so loving and caring and have made such a difference in their lives.  They work with each one's individual personality.  They help and teach them always to do their best.  My daughters absolutely LOVE their dance classes and the experience of being part of an award winning dance team."

"We do a lot of ballet and it is fun.  I like to audition for the ballet shows and be in competitions."

Isabella, Eagle Rock

"Seven years ago when my daughters were 18 months and 3 years old,  I discovered Art of the Dance.  Because of the personal attention and understanding demonstrated by the staff we continue to drive from Palmdale, 50 miles, to North Hollywood.  I trust my daughters' future here at Art of the Dance with Miss Leslie and can't imagine attending elsewhere!!"

Y Heath, Mom of Myah and Malaika, Palmdale

"Because of Art of the Dance I have been dancing all of my life.  The teachers are nice and the people here are all nice."

Malaika, Palmdale

"Our daughter has studied dance at several other dance studios, and we find Miss Leslie's classes to be the most focused and effective.  Miss Leslie teaches proper technique in a nurturing atmosphere with lots of individual attention.  She cultivates a generous, non competitive, ensemble spirit among her students.  We are very happy with the experience our child is having."

T. R. Oglesby, Oona's Dad, West Hollywood

"We feel very fortunate to have found Art of the Dance.  Miss Leslie keeps class sizes small enough to be able to give very detailed, specific instruction and correction to each student-the kind of attention it is impossible to get in large classes.  Our daughter's skill and technique have improved enormously since she began to study here.  Our daughter has made many friends and LOVES coming to class."

R.E. Oglesby, Oona's Mom, West Hollywood

" I like Art of the Dance over any other studio I have been at.  I came from another studio and I have really improved a lot in the short period I have been here.  Everyone has really welcomed me.  Miss Leslie is an amazing teacher.  Miss Leslie rocks."
