History & Philosophy

“Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.” – W. B. Yeats

Founded in 1985 Dance Dimensions has provided high quality dance education in a family centered environment for over thirty years. The Leise family has continued the family tradition with three generations of educators and directors contributing to the school. From our earliest dancers experiencing the joy, creativity, and knowledge gained in their first class to advanced students studying at a collegiate level and dancing professionally, Dance Dimensions has become a pillar in the community for arts education. 

We are passionate about the value of arts in the lives of young people. We believe in nurturing the whole child, supporting their self confidence,

self esteem, empathy, responsibility, healthy self image, mental focus, passion for endeavor and community relationships. As a liberal arts school a balance of knowledge is emphasized. For dance it means offering and valuing a comprehensive spectrum of dance forms including ballet, tap, jazz, Hip Hop, pointe, contemporary, modern, lyrical and more.

We are proud to work with caring and experienced faculty and internationally recognized guest instructors, offer high quality spring concerts, be home to a nationally recognized competition team, and partner with the City of Longmont’s Recreation program to ensure equitable access to families in our community.
