General Info
Founded in 1986 by Beth Fritz-Logrea and Jean Logrea, the Logrea Dance Academy has been training ballet dancers for generations. LDA is the official School of Westchester Ballet Company. Mission: To provide the highest quality training for dancers in ballet, jazz, modern, tap and hip hop. The Academy's students enroll at various stages of their development as dancers. Many begin as young children with little or no experience. Other students join the Academy as their desire for an Intensive Ballet training program develops and their goals for their training become clear. Many students from Westchester, Rockland and Orange Counties as well as Connecticut are introduced to LDA through our five week summer program. Ballet students over age 8 must be evaluated for placement. Classes offered include: Ballet Technique Pointe Partnering Workshop: Character, Variations Modern Jazz Tap Hip Hop Zumba

On recommendation of a friend, who's daughter does not dance, we gave it a try for our girl at Logrea Dance Academy. We are very pleased to have found an outstanding dance school in the tri state area. Their staff, starting at the front desk up to Mr. and Mrs. Logrea are very professional and knowledgeable. The academy's emphasis is on classical ballet, but it also offers tap, jazz, hip hop or modern. We can highly recommend Logrea Dance Academy.
Logrea Dance Academy is the epitome of professional training, yet also appropriate and user friendly for dancers not seeking the professional route. Students have support from a devout teaching, clerical and medical staff. My daughter has been dancing with Logrea for 7 years and she considers Logrea her second home. This is a special Gem in Westchester. - Annie Samojedny, PT, Dance Medicine Therapist

There are a lot of reasons that Logrea Dance Academy was awarded Best of Westchester! The staff is professional and highly qualified in all dance disciplines. The emphasis is on traditional, classic training, but the Academy is very current in all styles of dance. I'm so glad that I don't have to take my children to NYC for the best training, but can find it right in Ossining.

breaking ground dance center is the best in westchester.
Though the technical training is second to none, children learn much more than dance and great repertoire in this studio: respect for their bodies, for hard work, for their peers and their teachers; to manage time carefully; that excellence is earned; to concentrate on instructions and corrections; to memorize combinations quickly; to work both as a corps member and as a soloist; to manage triumph and disappointment graciously. The Logreas run the academy unflagging integrity, an attribute they pass on to their students, and one that will serve them throughout their lives.
Teaching mostly classical Russian style, the Logrea Dance Studio excels in ballet instruction in Westchester County. My daughter has been attending classes there for 4 years, and is getting great instruction. Also, the Logrea Dance school partners with the Westchester Ballet company, which has the best Nutcracker performance around, with over one hundred parts for student dancers. My daughter has now performed in front of audiences of more than 2000 people, which is a great experience. It's great to watch my daughter's dancing skill, discipline and confidence grow under the Logrea's tutelage.
Outstanding dance instruction across many types of dance including ballet, modern, jazz and tap. Performances are truely professional. This is not your typical neighborhood dance school. Children are encouraged to take their dance skills to the next level and are also encouraged to participate in community service projects.
I feel so lucky that my girls are part of this fabulous dance community. Apart from the professional and wonderful dance training and performances, it has prepared them for life experiences including responsibility, dedication, time management, loyalty, friendship, commitment and poise.
