History

Thirty eight years ago the Turning Pointe School of Dance was known as Leta's School of Dance. Leta Deines and her husband Rick came to the community as school teachers and Leta began her dance studio. At that time we danced in what is now Lincoln Place but at the time was the old Masonic Building. Leta ran her studio and soon her sister Lana was helping her.

When Leta and Rick decided to move on, Lana stayed and changed the name of the studio to Lana's School of Dance and it stayed that way until 1992, at which time I took over the studio for her and changed the name.

Lana's School of Dance had many homes throughout the years, including Lincoln Place, The Memorial Auditorium and even her own home. She finally settled into what is now Geronimo's Gifts and stayed there until I took over.

The Turning Pointe continued to occupy the building until we moved into the Old Stage store where we still located today,

We are very proud of our long tradition in Wellington and hope to continue for many years to come. It is our honor to know that you are willing to share your kids with us.
