LaChaney's Dance & Music Academy Goes to Disney (July 2011)

It was an honor for our school to travel from New Jersey to Orlando,Florida for the second time to perform at Walt Disneyworld! We had a supportive group with many members of our Performance Art Company that took to the stage at Downtown Disney!

Our Performance Art Company should be honored and thankful that they had the privilege of performing nine dance pieces at Disney!

Excerpt from Maplewood Patch
Springfield Avenue Gets a New Dance Studio
An established performance studio, LaChaney's Dance & Music Academy, makes the move from Union to Maplewood.

By Sonya Kimble-Ellis

Students, family, friends and several township officials joined Lashonda Chaney Saturday afternoon at the grand opening of LaChaney’s Dance & Music Academy at 1747 Springfield Avenue.

Previously located on Morris Avenue in Union for the past eight years, Chaney opened her new Maplewood location in early June — filling a very visible vacancy at the former WaMu Bank site.

“We’re a one-stop shop for families,” said Chaney. “Our studio is perfect for parents trying to find something for each of their kids and maybe for themselves. The fact that we offer more than one program is a great thing for families.”

Chaney’s studio offers classes in karate, dance, music, gymnastics and fitness. Also available is the opportunity for youngsters to participate in the LaChaney All Stars competitive cheerleading team. In addition, the studio provides tutoring, aftercare and an after-school program.

APOLLO AUDITIONS 4.3.11

We are not just a dance school but we are a family. We speak life into all of our dancers, teachers, staff and parents. We have a Performance Arts Company that lives, speaks and eat dance. Our director, teachers and staff are dedicated to this art form called "Dance."

Our director wanted our Performance Arts Company to audition for Apollo Amatuer Night Show. Like, always there were no complaints only excitement. One thing that truly sticks out is that our Company members Do Not showcase intimidation. Our Company Members just enjoy dancing and the light was shining on them on Sunday.

Even though it was very early in the morning (5am.) Our blood was pumping because we claimed victory. The audition called for the first 300 acts and we knew that we were making it. We entered five acts and it was an amazing experience.

We are featured online and in print of the NY Daily News (4.5.11)

LaChaney's Dance & Music Academy presents "HOLIDAY REFLECTIONS" 2010

HOLIDAY REFLECTIONS 12.18.10
The Holiday performance tickets are now on sale. The seats are general admission seating, not reserved. The performance venue is not as big as our year end recital, so please don't delay on purchasing your tickets, they tend to sell out quickly. Tickets are $10 in advance, and $17 at the door if available. All tickets can be purchased with CASH ONLY! Each student that will be participating in the holiday show will receive a performer pass the week before the show, they must have this in order to perform. Each class will receive information as to what they need to wear for their performance next week. We will try to keep it very simple, hopefully something they already have in their closets. Please make sure your child has good tights, and the appropriate shoes. I will be making a shoe order on saturday, so if you know your child is missing something or may need to order a larger size please let us know ASAP.
