Welcome to the Lincolnshire Academy of Dance celebrating our 26th Season!

We are a family friendly dance academy offering quality dance instruction to children ages 3-18. Our roots stem from Campbell's of Lincolnshire's Dance Studio (1970-1998). LAD Artistic Director Ms. Brenda Didier studied with professional Radio City Ballet dancer Elizabeth Campbell at her studio located down the street from the Lincolnshire Swim Club. We moved to our Vernon Hills location in 2011 after we outgrew our Lincolnshire Village Green location after 13 successful years.

Our priority is providing a safe, welcoming, happy and inclusive space for our students, families and staff. L.A.D., as we are lovingly known, has been a "second home" for our students for the past 25 years. Thank you for sharing your children with us! – Brenda Didier, Artistic Director

"We traveled an hour roundtrip to get to/from the studio for many years. LAD was life-changing for my daughter. She found her passion and joy of dance and thrived in a positive environment." Kathy B.
