From the reviews
My girls have been dancing at Elite for 6 years. Ms. Nicole and her staff have always made my girls feel welcome, loved and supported. The studio is constantly updating to meet the needs of dancers and skills.
My daughter has been at Elite since she started dancing in 2019. The growth I have seen in my daughter in 4 years at this dance studio, in both dance and confidence, is beyond anything I could have hoped for or imagined.
We moved to NC in 2019 and are so glad we found Elite. It is an amazing studio that truly feels like a family for my girls. Nicole and her staff have taught my girls so much over the past 4 years and we look forward to many many more years for my girls to grow and become the best dancers that they can be!
My dancer has been growing steadily as part of the Elite family since 2019. I am in awe of the continuous support received, friendships made and the skills learned in this time. Team work, independence, confidence, technique across all genres of dance...I would wholeheartedly recommend the studio to anyone.
Your first ballet class at Elite Academy of Dance
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
