We exist to create happiness through dance.

We are Hello Dancer

Children participating in a ballet class or recital, some sitting, some dancing, some playing with a large colorful parachute, and others watching. Several adults are present, supervising and engaging with the children.

Your child will love dancing in our studio, located centrally in the heart of Lafayette, LA.

You can expect a dance education that prioritizes whole child learning, building a solid foundation in dance, is wildly creative and imaginative, allows kids to be kids, and is a magical experience for all.

“As a mom of 3 kiddos, I started this studio for them. Family is number one at Hello Dancer and always will be.”

FAMILY

We are a family!

We are a group that dances, dreams, laughs, and loves together.  We are dancers, students, parents, teachers – WE ARE FAMILY, and we treat each other as so.  Together we are so much better!

“I’ve always had a passion for teaching young children, and I noticed a need for classes that allowed kids to be kids and focused on the creative journey rather than the end result. So I created it.”

DANCE

Whole child dance education is our super power!

We teach BIG Ideas, and know that creativity comes out of structure and skill development, while constantly engaging the imagination. This will give your kids a voice that will enrich the entire dance universe and beyond.
