Our Philosophy

“After years being in the professional field I realized there were a lot of things required of professionals that were not being taught in schools, even in professional and college level programs. The curriculums at LHG have all been meticulously designed to combat this and to teach well rounded, highly intelligent artists right from the start.

I firmly believe in what we teach at LHG and how we teach it. I have seen more growth, vulnerable artistry, love and community in the students at our school than I have in any other program I’ve taught in or have been a student of. Our students are FEARLESS, DRIVEN and absolutely BRILLIANT, and they approach the craft and community with the deepest level of love and respect for themselves and each other. Our students understand that Art is not a competition, it’s a collaboration. With this school we am bringing forth the education I always wish I had, and know that every professional needs. I am very proud of what we have built here. Between myself and the brilliant teachers we’ve acquired over the years I believe our program will be one of the best performing arts educations a student can receive.”

Below are the pillars LHG Creative was founded on. We believe these areas of our curriculums are essential to our students success, in ANY area of life.

LHG Creative’s Educational pillars

  • LHG teaches students to understand how THEIR body wants to move. How to express their own self. Never to emulate what’s popular or what they think will impress someone else.

    We teach students to have the confidence to truly express themselves and to improvise and create their own voice in dance and acting.

    Vulnerability is the HIGHEST required skill to be successful in the Performing Arts. So here at LHG we figured out a way to teach it and we implement that training it into every class.

  • This element is touched upon in all divisions but is especially emphasized in our Professional Divisions. The mind is the greatest factor in our ability to succeed at something. Our bodies cannot do something until we believe it to be possible. We teach the same visualization techniques Olympic athletes use to get gold medals and actors use to get the emotion needed for a role etc.

    We also teach mindset to ensure our students are able to handle the pressures of life, so that they may remain confident and proud of who THEY are no matter what comes up.

  • This is a skill that is necessary in all fields! We take great pride in teaching our students how to manage and build success without getting overwhelmed. Our students also learn how to behave and work like professionals (show up prepared, on time, and with respect).

  • We teach anatomy right from the start. All of our teachers are trained in anatomy in their selective fields and pass their knowledge on to our students to ensure physically safe practices. Dancers, Singers and Actors who utilize strong knowledge of anatomy, avoid injuries and have longevity in their careers. We believe students are never too young to learn about their instrument and how to use it the right way!

    A strong understanding of the science of their craft allows students to problem solve any struggles they are facing. It also allows for greater innovation and discovery of their own voice in their practice.

  • We teach our students not just to do as we say, but WHY we do things.

    What purpose does each exercise serve? Why are you learning what you’re learning? Etc.

    We teach our students Solid Anatomical Technique, what technique really is (Which is HOW you do something - Technique is not ever the big “show off” trick) and why we do it that way. Do you know why we do Pliés before tendu’s? What it actually means to warm up?

    The WHY teaches our students to think for themselves and gives them the ability to make their own decisions as they move forward, helping them develop into safe, intelligent, informed and innovative young adults.

  • Community, Respect and Support are major factors at our school. Our students are taught how to value, support, inspire and collaborate with one another. We aim to create solid, lasting friendships and support systems for each and every one of them!

    The arts are not a competition, they are a collaboration. Brilliant collaboration comes from strong community.
