About Us
LaFave Danse has been in business for 24 years. It has one spacious dance studio and a comfortable waiting area for parents and family. The majority of the classes are taught by the owner, Stacey Cierpial. Class size is kept small in order to give each student individual attention and excellent instruction. Our focus is on technique, not just learning steps and routines. It is a friendly, caring, nurturing, and positive dance environment.
What People Are Saying
“I've been dancing at LaFave for years now, and I can't imagine my life without it. Ms. Stacey does an excellent job of teaching students of all ages and levels of dance. The studio atmosphere is welcoming and supportive in helping dancers further themselves and their abilities. The spring recital is a wonderful showcase of everyone's hard work throughout the year and all the improvements the students have made. I constantly look forward to it, as well as my weekly classes.”
“I have danced at LaFave Danse for over 6 years, and each year has been a ton of fun. I started off just taking one class, but I quickly realized that I wanted to become a more serious dancer and joined many other styles such as Ballet, Jazz, Pointe, and Lyrical. I have also become a leader, which means I get to help teach some of the younger students alongside Ms. Stacey. Dance class at LaFave Danse is the right balance of challenging but still enjoyable, and gives you a change to hang out with friends that may not go to your school while still exercising!”
“Ms. Stacey has been teaching our two daughters now for 10 years and we couldn't be happier! The quality of instruction is superb and Ms. Stacey's fun and joyful approach to dance and teaching makes our daughters look forward to classes every week.”
“We love the atmoshpere at LaFave Danse. Stacey is professional and respectful to the students while at the same time she maintains a ‘calm’ that really works. This is very apparent in the recitals, which are beautiful, enjoyable shows for the students and families! My daughter has grown so much over the years with the support she has received at the studio. My daughter started out as a beginner and is now a well-rounded dancer performing Ballet, including Pointe, Jazz, and Lyrical. She is earning her opportunity to perform a solo and she gives back as a Leader to the younger girls. She looks forward to going to each and every class.”
“In all my years of dancing, I've never had a teacher as nice and caring as Ms.Stacey. Ms. Stacey cares about all her students and knows how to train and make us better dancers. I've danced at a few studios before coming to LaFave Danse. I was unable to excel and work towards becoming a better dancer since I wasn't in the competitive dance program. Yet, when I came to LaFave, Ms. Stacey was able to help me stretch and work towards becoming a stronger dancer even though, at the time, I wasn't in competitive dance. I was given the personal attention I needed and was being taught at a level of dance that better suited me. Now, I am able to do moves I never would have thought possible years before. In addition, LaFave Danse has a warm, welcoming environment where students feel comfortable to express themselves and make wonderful friends; some of my best friends are the people I met and dance with every week at LaFave Danse. All in all, LaFave Danse is a great place to take dance classes as the teacher is caring and personable, dancers are taught at levels were they are challenged but can also handle, and there is a friendly environment in which dancers can learn and excel in.”
“I've been dancing at LaFave Danse for many years and I enjoy being part of this studio. The classes are challenging, rewarding, and fun because Ms. Stacey allows the class to participate in creating unique dance moves. I look forward to the recital every year. Ms. Stacey always puts on a good show and I recommend LaFave Danse to everyone.”
