Guest ivy'smama Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 DD has a friend whose family is being transferred to Shreveport this summer. Mom is looking for a new ballet school. Dad tore out the yellow page ads for ballet schools and mailed it to her, but that is certainly NOT the best way to find a school! Any recommendations I could pass on to her would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
SeaMonkey Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I'm from Louisiana, but from Baton Rouge, which is several hours from Shreveport. I don't know of any ballet schools off hand in Shreveport (there's lots of casino's though!) The only schools that I know of that are good are in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. I will ask around to see if I can get any word of mouth recommendations, but here is a website that has a lot of dance studios in Louisiana. I wanted to add though, there are a LOT of competition schools around here that don't focus a lot on ballet. Maybe call ahead and all that fun stuff. http://www.humbugonline.com/school/schoola-b.html Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I would take a look or two at the Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet. Quote Link to comment

balletnast Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I know there must be one in Shreveport as I know someone going there to do the Intermediate exam. If you need, I can inquire. Quote Link to comment
lsu Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 None in Baton Rouge and New Orleans that I am aware of. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 From the RAD USA website: Theatre School of Dance Bossier City, LA 71112 (318) 741-3878 Shreveport Metropolitan Dance Academy Shreveport, LA 71106 (318) 865-8242 Quote Link to comment
Laschwen Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks. I will be trying to call later. They still have yesterdays "closed for the weather" answer message on the machine so far today. Maybe they will have someone down there who is in need of my ill fitting ( but new) pre-pointes that failed to go on e-bay. I figured donating there would be the best use I could think for them.
