Logrea Dance Academy

We have been attending Logrea for 4 years and have 2 children in their programs. We have been very pleased with the quality of their teachers, the effectiveness and professionalism of all their staff.
Are parking spots tight, could the facilities use an upgrade, yes. Though I’m not sure that I would select a school primarily on those merits. I’d rather spend that money on good teachers, a sound program and solid productions.
We appreciate the school not rushing the smaller kids onto a big stage right away as well enforcing stricter rules on dress code and timeliness.
The older girls are pretty awesome role models and our daughter is excited to be able to pursue an assistant teaching role and get more exposure to the older girls.
We can only recommend the school and program.
Not sure why Unilocal shows limited opening hours. Look at Logrea’s website to find the most current opening hours. It’s 7 days a week and many times until 9:00 PM.

Our experience at Logrea Dance has been on the whole very positive. It is a challenging disciplined program from which most children can benefit. As for my child she is fit and healthy in mind as well as body. She has developed admirably her sense of empathy and kindness through experiences of joyful highs and disheartening lows, as all these experiences have helped her deal with disappointments as well as triumphs in a gracious manor that would make any parent proud.
What a shame that someone found the need to vent their resentments. My child has been attending Logrea Dance Academy for ten years, frankly I do not at all remember the person who seemed so angry in their review and thought they perhaps may be someone from another studio. Whatever the case may be, we attend LDA because the dance training is superior to other academies and the performance opportunities also rate very high. Of course there have certainly been highs and lows, but isn’t that what life is all about? Everyone needs to learn to cope with disappointment and understand it is the disappointments in life that allows us to more appreciate successes. The studio us not posh, but perhaps that is because the emphasis is on dance.
The dancers who are considered for point are not considered because the deserve it, but rather that their physical abilities will allow them to excel and lessen the possibility of injury. So we will continue to attend the academy and appreciate everything it has to offer.

Logrea has excellent teachers, and demands excellence from it’s students. They are a wonderful school for serious dancers. I strongly recommend this dance school.

It makes me laugh when I read the filtered reviews for Logrea and how interesting… Everyone rated five stars… Of course that means its totally legitimate, I mean come on! NOT
I watched a family member slowly lose confidence after attending this ‘academy’ and I could not urge more, to really pay attention to your child’s behavior if they are a part of this school.
The place is freezing, and on one of the worse street corners, accompanied by maybe TWO parking spots. The others are clearly and boldly marked for other businesses, or the Logreas themselves; and otherwise they will tow you. I witnessed many younger children just sitting around while some select few were given the most attention inside; the cramped inside space it was as well.
If you were not 98 pounds and the lightest on your feet, forget having a chance. Logrea is queen at playing favorites. I applaud talent, but come on, recognize the other talent around you!!! Some girls were not allowed to graduate to point, one of the most rewarding and exciting times a young dancer can experience, when they are ready; unless you are of course, Too Fat. And by standards of fat, they mean an 8 yr old weighing 62 pounds and at a decent height. I know you need to have ‘strong ankles’ but it was often ironic that the girls that didn’t graduate were the ones that weren’t shelling out the $$$$ for 4 – 5 classes a week.
To start the body consciousness, and loss of self esteem at such a young age is deplorable. I’m not saying that Logrea doesn’t turn out great dancers, because they can and do; but it is rare when they teach and show all their students with respect.
Maybe things have changed over the years for the better, and I truly hope so for the sake of all the dancers.

I’m a little shocked that five and a half years after my initial review, Logrea feels the need to post a comment directing readers away from my thoughtful, positive yet constructive review. Yes, there are several other reviews that are overwhelmingly positive, and most are probably fake, which is why they are filtered.
I haven’t been to Logrea since my initial review, so my feedback may no longer be valid. But note the comments I made in my review, go visit, and judge for yourself.
If it’s still ice cold in the classrooms, there’s nowhere to change, and the stairwells flood when it rains, do ask the management why they haven’t addressed these things, since clearly they’ve known about it for (at least) almost six years.
I’m dropping a star from my initial rating just based on their comment.
