“Liv'art is a lovely place for children to focus on the art of dance. They strike a great balance between great training and allowing kids be kids. The teachers are encouraging and attentive, and the studio itself is spacious and clean. As a dance mom with a background in professional dance and instruction, I fully endorse!"

"I think peerless is a good word to describe Liv's teaching. She creates an environment for her young dancers that is both supportive and rigorous. She nurtures them and gives them a sense of themselves and a confidence in the their bodies."​​

“We love this studio! The entire staff is so welcoming and sweet to parents and dancers! My daughter is a little on the shy side but loves coming to ballet class and now also wants to explore new classes since she was able to watch the Spring Show."

"Liv is very responsible with regard to the safety of my child and I trust her implicitly."​​

 “I have a 6 years old and all she loves to do is ballet/tap. The class has been wonderful. The size is not too big and I feel each child gets the attention they need to perfect their craft. All the teachers are great and sweet with the kids. My child's teacher is very patient with all the ballet participants. She always has a smile and is thorough with execution of tasks to be completed in class. She makes learning dance so fun.”​

The Staff

Choosing the right dance studio for your child is an important decision. On paper, every studio can sound great, but what truly makes the difference is the relationship your child builds with their teacher.
Our instructors are patient, dedicated, and nurturing. They create a positive, encouraging environment where every student feels supported while developing a lifelong love of dance. We believe that when children feel comfortable, confident, and inspired, they thrive both in and out of the studio.
The best way to experience our teachers is to meet them in person. That’s why we invite every new student to enjoy a free trial class. We think you’ll quickly see the care, enthusiasm, and passion our instructors bring to every class.

The Level of Education
​Whether your child is dancing for fun or dreams of taking their training to the next level, Liv’art Dance Studio is committed to providing exceptional dance education in every class.
Our experienced instructors are highly trained in both technique and safe teaching practices. We believe that proper dance education builds strong, confident dancers while helping prevent injuries. Your child’s well-being is always our top priority, and we are dedicated to helping every student reach their full potential in a positive and supportive environment.
For dancers seeking a greater challenge, we offer the opportunity to join our Company program. Auditions are held annually before our fall season begins. Company members are selected based on their technique, potential, work ethic, attitude, and commitment.
As Company dancers, students receive advanced training, additional performance opportunities, and the chance to grow as both dancers and individuals. Through teamwork, discipline, and dedication, they develop not only stronger technical skills but also valuable life skills such as perseverance, responsibility, confidence, and the pursuit of excellence.

The Affordability
We believe that quality dance education should be accessible to every family. That’s why we are proud to offer some of the most affordable tuition rates in the San Fernando Valley, without compromising on the quality of our instruction.
We also believe in keeping our pricing fair and transparent:
- Pay only for classes we hold. Unlike many studios that charge a flat monthly tuition regardless of holidays or closures, our tuition is based on the classes we actually teach.
- Flexible make-up classes. If your child misses a class, you may schedule a make-up at any time during the school year, provided it is before our Spring Shows. This gives families much more flexibility than the typical 30-day make-up policy.
- Reasonably priced costumes. Costume costs typically range from $75 to $95 per class, depending on the costume selected.
Our goal is to provide outstanding dance training while keeping costs reasonable and predictable for our families.

The Community
At Liv’art Dance Studio, we believe that dance is about more than just learning steps. It is about building meaningful relationships and creating a true sense of belonging.
Liv takes pride in knowing each student personally and creating a supportive, nurturing environment where every dancer feels valued. She is always available to encourage, guide, and support her students, and the strong bonds she builds with them are at the heart of what makes Liv’art special.
When you become part of Liv’art Dance Studio, you become part of a caring community where students and families feel welcomed, supported, and connected. We truly believe that our studio is more than just a place to dance—it is a place to grow, make memories, and feel like family.

“This place is warm and welcoming. The perfect combination of pushing and the dancers while at the same time instilling in them a love of dance. The prices are Thank you for making us feel really affordable. So glad we found Liv'art!”

"Dancing with Liv is a joy, and her students are lucky to have her as their inspiration...

She is a gift to her profession!"​​

“All of the teachers and staff make an effort to get to know the dancers. The company performers are amazing and great role models for the little ones, but there is no pressure on the younger recreational classes, which is so refreshing. The children are able to learn and enjoy themselves in whatever capacity. They are encouraged to challenge

themselves and grow as dancers but at their own pace. The patience and understanding of the teachers (who are incredibly successful and talented dancers in their own rights!) is fantastic and they are excellent at assessing the strengths of each dancer to help them get to where they want to go; be it a future as a professional, getting some exercise, or just having a great time moving their bodies. We look forward to many more years making ourselves at home at Liv'art!"
