My daughter has been attending classes with Vanleena for 3 years and we are so grateful to the entire Vanleena community. Her confidence has grown, the classes are fun and she loves the numbers she has been learning. The RAD program is a fantastic tool for your dancers to learn ballet fundamentals. The entire community from teachers parents, administrators, older students and new students are so supportive of one another. My daughter loves class so much, she wants to go everyday. Thanks Vanleena!

I have know Vanleena’s founder, Eileena Vanneck for over 25 years. Eileena has always prioritized the caring and well being of her students. Vanleena’s professional and artistic standards are second to none. Vanleena offers a wide range for all students, whatever their aspirations . The directors and staff work tirelessly to ensure the highest quality and most positive experience for their dancers. I highly recommend this school.

Vanleena is my home. Almost better than my real one. The staff are great and to anyone who thinks they are pushy or discouraging you should think again. They are loving people who only want you to improve. This whole business is not to earn money, it’s to make your kids a better version of them. The staff only want the best for you and your children. When they correct you, it is only to make you feel more confident dancing. At Vanleena I can express my feelings through dance and that is better than anything. Even candy hehe. Since I’m a kid, I know your kids will like Vanleena. <3

We absolutely love Vanleena dance. It has become our second family. My 9 year old daughter dances there five days a week and loves every single minute of it. She loves her teachers and is learning so much everyday! I would like to say that I love the open communication between the teachers and myself. Thanks for all you do!!!

My daughter has been dancing at Vanleena for 5 years and I have been dancing at Vanleena for 3 years. I have admired how Vanleena challenges their dancers of all ages to reach new goals while still ensuring that their students are having fun. Vanleena invests in their students, even from a young age, which you can witness in the development of skill and technique of all age groups. Vanleena has fostered a culture where I feel comfortable approaching any faculty member with my questions or concerns and the senior dancers are so kind and friendly to my young daughter. My daughter and I have both

Our 2 daughters have been dancing at Vanleena for 6 years now, and it has been a wonderful and formative experience for them. Not only has the dance training been exceptional, they have also learned about dedication and hard work, about setting and accomplishing goals, and about building strength and taking care of their bodies. And they have developed beautiful friendships along the way! Vanleena has become like a second home for our girls and we highly recommend it!
