Does someone in your family have a talent for music or dance? Are their songs getting stuck in YOUR head from hearing them so much? Or perhaps they are a brand new beginner showing an interest in learning?
PLAY - SING - DANCE - ACT with us this Winter/Spring and nurture their creative and artistic spirits in a fun and safe environment!
Our university-trained faculty tailor each lesson to the interests and needs of the student and teach students the songs, styles and steps THEY are interested in!
With over 40+ years in education, we have studied how students learn and continuously adapt and upgrade our course offerings, teaching methods, faculty hiring procedures and facility resources to tailor the experience to the needs and interests of a wide range of student personalities and backgrounds.
We understand that not all students learn in the same way and come to us for a number of different reasons. Our faculty are hired for their abilities as patient, fun, and inspirational mentors who will customize lesson plans for each of their students ensuring maximum success. Our growing collection of in house (LAAPA Press) teaching methods are not only used in our school but in schools and studios across the country.
We teach absolute beginners as well as advanced students who have been trying to learn on their own for years. It's never too late to get started, and older students typically fly through beginning level materials quickly!
For your convenience, we've provided a list of all programs offered for our Academy below. If you're a brand new beginning student or parent, we highly recommend first checking out the "Explore Music" and "Explore Dance" links below before proceeding to the individual programs. Feel free to skip ahead to the specific programs below if you already know exactly where you'd like to begin!
While many schools and studios around the world are playing catch up to begin offering distance and remote "virtual lessons" online for their students, we have been teaching online since 2012!
No matter what program you may be interested in starting for the first time or (as in the case for our adult students many times - picking back up where they left off), our teachers have the technology in their studios to meet with you in person or remotely.
Need to attend online one week due to a last minute scheduling change or health concern? No problem! Will you primarily attend online like to attend occasionally in person while you're in town? Great, we'd love to see you in person whenever it's convenient for you!
With online learning, be cautious and selective! It's pretty easy to find any number of random/out of state teachers and corporations marketing their online courses everywhere. Keep in mind, that they don't actually have a physical, local presence here in the Greater New Orleans area! By taking online music or dance classes at LAAPA, you're supporting local Louisiana artists and musicians!
We encourage you to take a moment to take a virtual tour of our 4,000 sq ft facility if you haven't done so already or learn more about getting started in online lessons!
