WHERE RHYTHM MEETS DISCIPLINE
about lhq danceforce
Building a foundation one layer at a time
Based in Agawam, Massachusetts, LHQ Danceforce is a tot-to-teen dance school that builds discipline and creativity through the art of dance. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we welcome the next generation of leaders to unlock their potential with us.
LHQ Danceforce & Wellness Studio offers classes as young as little Monkey Movers (parent & tot classes), all the way to our popular adult Hip Hop & Tap classes. We can cater a program towards the needs of what the parents and child may be looking for but also programs that grow with the dancers goals and needs in mind.
We have become the first dance studio in the region to achieve Youth Protection Advocates in Dance certification. The certification marks its commitment to keeping kids happy, healthy and safe in dance. YPAD is the nation’s only dance certification program focusing on both safety and wellness for dance students. To earn the designation, studios must complete two training tracks.
The first track centers on dance safety and educational best practices. It focuses on background checks, CPR and First Aid, abuse awareness and prevention, injury prevention and response, and safety and emergency preparedness. The second focuses on the wellness and development of youth dancers and covers social media, social media safety, today’s dance culture, developmentally appropriate artistry, body image, nutrition, disordered eating, bullying, and conflict resolution. BOOK A TRIAL CLASS
Only studios that complete both tracks are eligible for certification. Our staff are well-equipped in handling children of all backgrounds and ages, and we pride ourselves in helping our students build confidence in their lives. We are in our 30th year of teaching dance and wellness to the local Agawam community and the surrounding towns, and welcome you to try out one of our many styles.
