Founding owner and artistic director Ilka Doubek was a professional ballerina with a 20-year career in dance. Along with her husband, Tom Fox who had an active international career in opera and the performing arts, Ilka created a family-friendly dance academy for both those who want recreational dance classes as well as those who wished to leap into a career in performing arts. Now under a new Director as of 2021, Rachel Pitts, LDA is moving on to new and exciting projects to continue the legacy that is so well-known and well-loved in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
