About LaChaney's Dance and Music Academy

LaChaney's Dance and Music Academy, located in Maplewood and Union, provides a vibrant and professional atmosphere for students of all ages, race, and gender. For over 23 years, the academy has focused on offering a diverse range of programs, including Ballet, Hip-Hop, Tap, Jazz, ACRO (Gymnastic), Music, and Fitness, starting as early as 2 years old. The teachers and staff are very dedicated and supportive, treating every single child as if they were their own. The owner is very nice and welcoming, and the staff always smiles. The energy that flows through LaChaney’s is truly refreshing. Students look forward to their classes, and parents feel great knowing they left their children with the right people. The academy is a dance family, where children grow in both skill and community, going from being really shy to becoming super confident. The staff is wonderful and patient with the children, who run to them just to get those big smiles. A Friday Night fun night allows parents to have Fridays without the kids, and the kids love it. The dance recitals are like Broadway shows, starting precisely on time with no distractions for the dancers. LaChaney’s is definitely someone solid to recommend.

    The recital was great! I really enjoyed it. I am amazed with how you get all the little ones to dance in sync. Your school is the 3rd one Miracle attended I must say the school is the most organized and professional. I wish I could keep her in your school. It is the most improvement I seen in her for awhile after being with one school for 5 years. I would differently refer the dance studio to any and every one. God Bless

    My daughter Ariella has been with LaChaney’s for just over a year, and WOW, what a difference! I’ll admit, I was hesitant at first, her listening skills weren’t great, and the cost gave me pause. But after scrolling through different dance schools on social media, Ms. LaShonda immediately caught Ariella’s eye. Her smile and energy won Ariella over, and she said, “I want to go there!” Seeing her so excited helped me overcome my doubts, and after running the numbers, I decided to take the plunge and I’m so glad I did!

    She’s come out of her shell and gained confidence on an entirely new level. She’s now the life of every party! Once the beat drops,...read full review
