This program grew out of a decision to move away from a traditional competition team and towards developing young dancers as performers, artists, collaborators, and creators.

The start of a new dance season is almost here! Whether you're returning to LPD or joining us for the first time, a little preparation can make that first week back much easier.

Every year, on the first Saturday after school starts, we open the doors at LPD before the dance season officially gets underway.

At LPD dressing the part doesn't mean everyone has to look the same. Dress for the work. Express who you are. Come to class.

Our job isn't to compare dancers. It's to help each dancer grow from where they are today. We celebrate effort, curiosity, kindness, resilience, and the courage to keep trying, because those are the qualities that help dancers (and people) continue to grow.

As we wrap up another incredible season at Lynn Panting Dance, we’re excited to recognize our final round of Studio Stars for the 2025–2026 year.

Introducing our first Adult Intensive

Sunday, May 31
10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

When dancers miss classes they miss the repetition that builds confidence and ease. The work becomes less familiar, and that can feel uncomfortable.

When dancers are consistently in class, confidence grows, and the dance starts to feel like their own.

Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at Lynn Panting Dance.

We believe in destigmatizing snacking for dancers. Bodies that move need fuel.

We want our students to learn to prioritize nourishment, self-awareness, and self-care.

Each year, our recital is a celebration of the work our dancers have been building all season. This year’s program is especially rich, offering both a sweeping ballet centerpiece and a high-energy, multi-generational jazz feature.

Studio Stars are dancers who lead with kindness and commitment.

As the year winds down, we’ve been reflecting on the small breakthroughs, the big moments, and all the in-between parts that make up a dance year.

Dance is an accrual of practice, not a single moment.

Growth happens in class, but it’s supported by what dancers do between classes. A few small habits can deepen technique and build confidence.
