“As a family we have "sat through" many a novice performances of the Nutcracker (and a few who claim to be professional!!) and never enjoyed one more than tonight. The big and little girl's performances all used their talents and charm to their potential and created a wonderful camaraderie that is hard to duplicate.  I can not tell you how much all of us enjoyed the evening!!!  Please congratulate yourselves on a wonderful accomplishment for a very entertaining evening!  The crowd was thrilled!!"

 "After moving to Colorado for graduate school, I began searching for a local dance studio and found LDA through their website.  From the moment I stepped into my first adult ballet class at Littleton Dance Academy, I knew I had found something very special.  Everyone was so kind.  Ali immediately made me feel welcome, and the class was the perfect balance of review and challenge.  I feel truly blessed to be involved in this very special place where aspiring dancers receive as excellent of training as adult students like myself.  I would highly recommend LDA to anyone - child or adult - who is interested in starting from scratch or continuing in their dance training.  The staff are as kind as they are talented.  And I can confidently say that I have never been as good a dancer as I am today thanks to LDA."

Meggan Knox, Adult Ballet Student

“Our family has been involved with three different dance studios for our three daughters.  LDA is our studio of choice because of the warm, nurturing climate Ali, Bobbie and all of the teachers create there.  Our daughters have felt loved and accepted by the teachers and the other dancers, as well.  There is a spirit of cooperation and positive peer pressure at LDA.  We have not experienced dancer against dancer kind of competition there.  The other dancers seemed strengthened by the association not crippled with fear of not measuring up to the others.  LDA instructors see our dancers as individuals as well as ensembles.  Our 12 year old daughter has danced with LDA for 2 years and is sad when there is a break or she is too ill to attend dance.  She literally looks forward to any day that she gets to dance there.  She is happy that she has 3 days a week she gets to have classes!  We consider LDA a true blessing in the lives of our daughters and will forever be grateful that we had a chance to dance there.  Truly!”

Dear Bobbie and Alison,

     The reason for this letter is to convey my sincere appreciation for all the time, effort, and love you have poured into my children over the years.  I’m astonished to report that Sam danced with you for over 10 years and Angelica has been with you for over five! 

     Even though I’ve watched you teach for so long, I continue to marvel at your ability to balance excellent instruction in the technical aspects of dance with such obvious care and concern for each student.  You strive to turn out great dancers who are also good people, and that is very important to me as a parent.  Your school is open to all those who want to dance and I have seen your skillful and insightful teaching help students surmount some formidable challenges to become beautiful dancers. 

     My children have benefited immeasurably from the kind encouragement that you combine with rigorous expectations during their lessons.  Sam and Angelica feel supported by the family atmosphere that you promote amongst your students and their families.  The friendships that have taken root and grown at your school are many.

     I feel so fortunate to have been associated with such down-to-earth, professional, inspirational instructors and mentors I know your school is on its way to becoming a huge success.  It’s been a privilege to watch it all happen.  You deserve the best!                              

                                                              Love,
