Summer Aerial Arts

SUMMER SKILLS LABS! NOW ACCEPTING NEW DANCERS.

Just because it's summer doesn’t mean your dancer should hit pause on progress!

LDC's Summer Skills Lab is for advanced dancers ages 6+ start June 10th, and we've packed them with flexibility, fun, and serious growth potential.

We often hear dancers say "I'm a hip hop dancer" or "I'm a contemporary dancer." That identity matters, but when you train only in one lane, you build in only one direction.

When you train across disciplines, you develop a physical intelligence that shows up everywhere, in the way you hold your body, the way you respond to music, the way you connect artistry to technique.

This summer, we've built every program so that every advanced dancer, regardless of their primary style, has a clear entry point into broader movement comprehension.

VERSATILITY IS A SUPERPOWER!
