★★★★★ — Monica, Apr 2021

We absolutely love Elite Academy! My daughter has been there for about 4 years now. My daughter is on a competition team and my little guy is in the Boy Power class. To say that Elite has built my daughter's confidence would be an understatement!

★★★★★ — Wendi, Jan 2019

Love the preschool! Love the teachers! They go on fun field trips every month and get to learn so much. It is a 3 hour long pre school which is great for prepping them for kindergarten. My sons tells me everyday he has the best preschool!

★★★★★ — Prisdean, Apr 2021

My 4 year old little girl loves going to class each week at Elite Academy to see her friends and teachers! When my husband and I pick her up, she is always smiling from ear to ear and telling us how much fun she had. Elite Academy knows how to make dance fun while teaching the fundamentals and technique.

Your first ballet class at Elite Academy

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
