Lisa Taylor Academy of Ballet & Dance Arts Lisa Taylor Academy of Ballet & Dance Arts offers the finest training in Classical Ballet and arts education through dance in Western New York.

Through professional training by qualified teachers, our family friendly academy provides each student in our ballet classes with individualized attention resulting in successful development of the body, mind and spirit. While we teach a centuries-old art form with excellence, we are aware of the sensibilities and challenges of living in today's world and seek to provide an environment that nurtur

es the growing artist and provides the disciplined structure necessary to successfully learn the art of ballet. Dance education is as important to the development of the whole person, as success in academics and sports is strongly linked to musical, visual and theatrical arts. We are interested in being an important part of the education of the young people we work with and providing an expressive, healthful outlet for people of all ages to explore movement.

Valerie Lytle will be teaching a Contemporary Ballet class on Sarurdays from 10-11:30 am.

Valerie Lytle is a dancer and movement artist from Los Angeles. She grew up dancing classical ballet with strong a focus on the French and Vaganova techniques. She continued her dance education at École Supérieure de Danse Contemporaine de Paris de Paris, where she studied classical ballet under Agnes Letestu and Josette Amiel. It was here where she had the opportunity to learn under contemporary choreographers, and continued to dance and create works in Iceland, Belgium, and across France. After moving back to LA, Valerie refocused her movement practice with a desire to increase accessibility for anyone who wants to move their body. She recently followed her wife to Buffalo and is eager to pass on her knowledge and love for movement to dancers in Western New York. aey
