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!

Here are a few pictures from our trip!

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.
