Classes for kids & Adults

Lake County's premiere dance school promotes social-emotional development for students of all ages through dance education and performance opportunities. We aim to remove barriers so that everyone can develop a great love of dance, while inspiring self-confidence, discipline, community and a passion for the performing arts.Our offerings include jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop, tumbling and more for a variety of ages - from 3 to adult. Dance, various movement specialties and performance opportunities help growing minds find ways to appraise situations, think outside the box, and feel more confident going into unfamiliar situations.Youth classes and select adult classes culminate in a session-end performance. For our fall/winter 2026 winter/spring session, this includes a small in-class showcase the last week of class. Our next formal recital session will occur at the end of the January - May 2027 session.

Note: DanceStudio-Pro recently updated its payment processing options, replacing its previous convenience fee model with a credit card surcharge. As a result, Leadville Dance Collective has begun applying a 2% surcharge to credit card payments. This fee is lower than the previous 3% convenience fee and helps offset a portion of the cost of securely processing credit card transactions. There is no fee for payments made by check, cash, Venmo, Zelle, debit card, ACH, or eCheck, making these other a great option for families who wish to avoid the surcharge.

*To cover the cost of processing a credit or charge card transaction, and pursuant to section 5-2-212, Colorado Revised Statutes, a seller or lessor may impose a processing surcharge in an amount not to exceed the merchant discount fee that the seller or lessor incurs in processing the sales or lease transaction. A seller or lessor shall not impose a processing surcharge on payments made by use of cash, a check, or a debit card or redemption of a gift card.
