From the reviews
10/10 BEST STUDIO IN THE AREA - This studio offers students to learn the art of dance in a fun and professional environment. Not only do the teachers provide helpful feedback, but they also seek great opportunities for dancers wanting to expand their boundaries.
Elite Dance Center has been such an amazing experience for my daughter and our family. She has been dancing here since she was 8 years old and is currently part of the competition team, which has truly helped her grow both as a dancer and as a person. The level of technique she has learned over the years is incredible.
My 15 year old was visiting from NJ and my friend recommended that she do a week intensive at Elite. The studio was quick to respond and the registration process was so easy. She absolutely loved her experience there!
Amazing place for dance development by people who genuinely care for the children. Studio is well run and puts the kids needs first.
Adult ballet at Elite Dance Center
Elite Dance Center runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Elite Dance Center
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.
