There’s so much to say about LEAP Performing Arts Academy/Little Leapers. Miss Heather and her staff are the best technical teachers in the region but with Heather’s unique curriculum, young students begin to learn the language of dance through song and games. Dancers who start in middle/high school also learn in a safe, body positive and fun environment. It’s never too late to start!!
Our dance family has given my children so much love, encouragement, motivation, and instruction to allow them to be the best dancers, make their best friends, have the best time, and learn strong work ethic.
I’d make the choice to sign up for Little Leapers again like I did over 10 years ago over and over. It’s one of the best things we’ve ever done for their confidence and growth.
We absolutely adore this place and love our teachers, Miss Heather, Krista, Rylie, Claire, Ellery, Cam and Izzy, to name a few.
I never write reviews, I am to help parents who might be struggling trying to decide to sign up for dance and knowing where to start. The benefits of dance are too numerous to list but it assists in almost every part of childhood development. Little Leapers is an amazing place to start and stay throughout high school!!

Our two kiddos have been with Little Leapers & LEAP Performing Arts Academy (LL&LPA) for four years, and we couldn’t be happier. Our kids love LL&LPA for its friendly environment, excitable teachers, and various performance aspects. As a parent, I love that LL&LPA meets every individual where they’re at to both properly challenge and nurture them. Additionally, the LL&LPA team has a very high care-factor with their magical performances, competitions that showcase talent with modesty, and excellent classes/curriculum that sets their dances up for successes of all kinds. It really is a gem dance studio.

We recently hosted my daughter's 5th birthday party at Little Leapers and it was absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to make it a magical experience. They had Belle herself join the party, organized fun activities, and even planned a ballet/dance lesson which the kids loved. Walking into a beautifully decorated room where everything was taken care of was such a relief; I only needed to bring the cupcakes!

Belle stayed with the girls throughout, joining them for snacks and making the day extra special. They were even prepared to order pizza for us, although we decided to bring our own. The entire experience was seamless and stress-free, and my daughter still talks about her unforgettable party. Thank you so much to the Little Leapers team for creating such cherished memories!

If you're looking for a place to have your child's party, look no further!
Little Leapers does an amazing job, they decorated, had activities, food, cupcakes, I was so impressed! The staff was so engaged and attentive, I really could not of asked for anything better. They kept a group of 3-5 year old's entertained and the party ran smoothly start to finish. I didn't have to do a thing, we showed up and got to enjoy watching our daughter having the best day with her friends! 10/10 experience for us!

Little Leapers is really a place of magic. I never thought I would ever enjoy dancing and objected to coming here the first time, but after just one trial partnering class with the students and owner Heather Leeper, I instantly fell in love. Countless kids come through the doors everyday find this place magical as well because Little Leapers has really build a wonderful community that brings joy to everyone who is interested in dance.

Love Little Leapers! The owner is amazing and truly does all she can to make sure your child has the best experience possible. The dance classes give kids a fun and magical way to develop confidence. And they put on the Nutcracker show at the Moss Arts Center and find a way for performers of all ages have an opportunity to participate on the big stage!

My little girl has been at Little Leapers for two years and we love it! She has some special needs and the teachers have been so patient with her while also challenging her at the same time. I really like that they don't just teach dance. They teach their students about kindness, confidence, and hard work. It is an amazing place for all types of dancers!

I have been a parent at Little Leapers since they opened and both of my children love it there! The teachers are supportive, caring and put an enormous amount of energy and time ino their teaching and towards the children. The level of dance is excellent and I have seen amazing growth in my children as dancers and as part of a caring community. The performances are wonderful and the studio director has an incredible ability to create magical experiences for all those involved.

The owner, Heather Leeper, and all of the teachers at Little Leapers go far beyond teaching dance, although they do that excellent as well. They helped my daughter not only become more comfortable moving, but more comfortable in general. I was nervous when she danced at the Spring recital - it was on a big stage with a sizable audience, which makes her very nervous. But I sat wide-eyed and jaw-on-the-floor proud as my little girl remembered everything and stayed with the older girls to "It's a Hard Knock Life." It was a wildly significant moment for her - she beamed with pride that lasts to this day. Little Leapers is sending big ripples through kids lives and the community. There isn't enough room here to describe the individual attention and innovative, purposeful approach they take to dance and kids' development.
