Limited DanceWorks (LDW) is a small studio owned located in a small town in North Carolina called, Snow Hill. Larissa Harris is their owner and Artistic Director. Since they are in a small community, their dance studio is like a small community in itself. Almost everyone knows each other and Larissa is the only teacher. Being the only teacher, Larissa gets to see each individual student each week and consistently watch them grow and develop. This helps her map the potential and growth of everyone to insure their classes are structured correctly.
Larissa believes that LDW is different from other studios because of the closeness she has with all of her students. They strive to get better individually and as a team every day.
Her proudest moment coaching would have to be when my studio of only 3 years was chosen to dance at Walt Disney World in Orlando FL this past September. They took 23 students and participated in a private workshop with a Disney Cast Member and the following day performed a 30 minute dance selection on the Disney Stage!
The biggest mistake Larissa sees dancers make, in her studio and while judging, would be the dancer not dancing to their fullest potential. There are many dancers that are technically sound and have amazing performance quality, but they do not push themselves to their fullest. The best way to help fix this is to constantly challenge them in class as well as choreography.
LDW has both recreational, fun dance classes, as well as a company travel team. Their travel team dances almost every day of the week and performs all over the United States. They also compete at regional dance competitions. This being their fourth year, they hope to make it to a national dance competition this year!
