“My daughter comes out of class laughing and exhausted (the “worked hard” kind of exhausted) It’s been a great year despite every challenge.”
From the reviews
We had to find a new dance home this past year due to ours closing. My daughter was welcomed to EDC and loves it! The atmosphere is fun and centered around team bonding. They provide great positive instruction. The studio has been safe and followed every protocol.
We have been at Elite for 10 years and it has been the absolute best experience for our daughter. This studio has provided a safe place for excellent dance instruction, camaraderie, and so much fun. The competition team has an amazing track record, yet manages to maintain a super fun and supportive environment.
Elite Dance Company has become a family to my girls. The staff go above and beyond to make connections and support all members of the team. I have seen my daughters confidence soar during the time they have been part of this studio.
I have been to many dance recitals in my 66 years but never have I been to one as extraordinary as Elite's! The pace of the show, the costuming, the music and sequencing selections kept the audience thoroughly engaged and entertained! I also especially appreciated the appropriateness of the costumes. Well done, Elite!
Your first ballet class at Elite Dance Company
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.
