At LDA we don't believe that bigger is better. In fact, we believe that a smaller more intimate dance community is more conducive to the growth and development of well-rounded artists. This is why we cap our class offerings and class sizes. We are 100% committed to maintaining a program that is quality driven.
Liv DanceArts was originally founded in 1987 as Professional Ballet School by Dutch National and San Francisco Ballet artists Carmela Peter (pictured right) and Zoltan Peter. At the age of 12, Zoltan Peter was 1 of 10 children chosen from 5000 through a national talent search to study at the National Ballet Institute in Budapest, where he received both his academic education and Ballet training.
Our Award winning National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) recognized program is accepting new students in certain age categories and levels for 2021. Our program historically fills to capacity so please contact us for individualized tuition and schedule information for your dancer. We aim to provide each LDA family with personalized assistance in finding the right classes for their dancer.
LDA Elite is the competitive program of Liv DanceArts. The program serves to provide personalized training and performance opportunities to further enhance the growth of each selected participant's dance form and artistry. Participation is based on three elements: faculty invitation, dancer application, and formal audition.

LDA is an amazing dance studio that is focused on technique, choreography and building confidence. Kris (the owner) has established a supportive environment for all dancers and it trickles all the way through from staff to students and parents. We have been with LDA/PBS for 6 years and hope to develop both our daughters love of dance for many more!

Our dance-obsessed daughter has attended this school for 12 years now, and we couldn't be happier! She has grown from a little girl who just wanted to prance around in leotards, to an accomplished dancer, thanks to the wonderful education she has received here! The teachers are all amazing talented professionals, and there is a focus on great technique and attention to detail, which shows in the incredible quality of the twice yearly performances, and in the success of the competition dance team over the past few years. It has been a joy to be part of such a great organization, and we cannot thank

Our daughter has been attending this school for 6 years, and she couldn’t be happier with that choice. The teachers see each student as a real individual, knowing just how to encourage, correct, and inspire each one. They know the days that our daughter needs warmth and encouragement, and the days when she’s ready to be pushed to take new risks.
There is a lot of camaraderie and support among the girls at the school, and particularly on the dance team. Our daughter has learned not only strong dance technique, but also the values of dedication, teamwork, and persistence. Thanks to the entire
