We had the opportunity to meet Ms. la Cour in the beginning of April at LaCademy. To me, Ms. la Cour was an answer to my prayers. My 11 year old daughter was part of a performance company at a neighborhood dance studio since she was six. Because of the lack of strong teaching, she hit a plateau in her training and felt discouraged for some time. Since then, my daughter began taking private lessons and small group lessons with Ms. la Cour.
In just a few months, my daughter has grown to love classical ballet which was her least favorite. And now she looks forward to going to her lessons at LaCademy three times a week. Even though we have to travel at a distance to LaCademy, being trained by Ms. la Cour is well worth the drive.
The studio is located at Japantown, San Jose. There is a big, nice and quiet waiting room for the parents. I have been finding myself getting work done while waiting for my daughter. The neighborhood is lovely and charming. And there is free street parking all around.
Recently my daughter said to me, "I think I have grown with Ms. la Cour more than any teachers I had before." Ms. La Cour inspires, encourages and motivates her students. Her attention to details reflects her professionalism. My daughter often finds herself exhausted but inspired to work harder after her lessons at LaCademy.
Although we have given up dance competitions for now, being trained by Ms. la Cour has been a right decision for us. So, all I would say is to come and check it out, you won't regret it. read more
