Dance Classes in Covington, LA 70433 at LAAPA for Kids, Teens, and Adults

Whether you're a brand new dancer or already experienced and perhaps ready to learn some additional dance styles, our Northshore dance teachers love working with students of all backgrounds!

As we are a non-competitive dance studio, there are no auditions required to begin dancing with us. All classes are age appropriate and skillset appropriate. A private audition may be required for students who transfer from another studio and wish to enroll in upper level classes.

Our students have the opportunity to perform on stage twice annually with our Christmas Show and Spring Recitals. Costumes selections are always modest both in appearance and price! You'll also never be embarrassed by any of the music selected in our dance recital performances as it is always G rated and family friendly!

Our mission is to share the joy of dance with kids, teens, and adults in a stimulating and fun classroom environment. Advancements and promotions are announced semi-annually following our two major productions. On occasion, students will show a tremendous amount of progress in shorter periods of time may setup an appointment to discuss a promotion with the Dept. of Dance Chair. At LAAPA, we encourage open communication with all parents and students regarding our curriculum and the Dept. Chair is always happy to chat about the goals of each students.

Classes are held Monday-Thursday afternoons and evenings as well as Saturday mornings. Private instruction and coaching is additionally available!

Student and Parent Success Stories

Ms. Allison is absolutely AMAZING! She teaches a variety of dance styles to different age groups at different times, and somehow still gives 110% every single class. Her energy, passion, and dedication are unmatched. She’s always there to help anyone who needs it, and she makes every dancer feel supported and inspired. I’m so grateful to learn from someone as talented and caring as her—she truly deserves more than just five stars!

We absolutely love taking ballet class with Paige! She is positive and encouraging with the girls while still pushing them to perfect their skills. My daughter has learned so much so quickly since joining her class, and she is excited each week to attend!

We are finishing year 2 with Ms. Miranda in PreBallet/Tap. My daughter has thrived and loves every class. Mrs. Miranda has a fantastic way of being friendly and fun while also able to keep a group of little girls focused and on task. We love LAAPA.

I absolutely love love love it. I’m 73 years old and began dancing again after 40 or 50 years. It has brought me so much joy. I take adult ballet with Allison. My teacher Allison has been so wonderful with taking time with me and so encouraging. She helped me tremendously with my solo dance in Laapafest. My solo dance in front of judges was a dream come true for me. It was something I have always wanted to do. The adult ballet class as well has motivated me to keep dancing and moving at my age. Allison has been a real godsend for me. She is so patient and kind. I couldn’t ask for any better.
