EDF will always be there for you no matter what happens to you or the studio. Through my year and a half of being at EDF they are so nice and are there for me through everything that’s happened.

★★★★★ — Natalie, Jul 2020

The coaches each take the time to evaluate, correct, and truly teach the true ways of dance. At Elite Dance Force coaches are not just coaches to me as a parent. They're helping me raise my kids. They give my girls opportunity to make life-long friendships. They learn to be disciplined by their coaches.

★★★★★ — Arwa, Apr 2016

My daughter is finishing her second year at EDF. I couldn’t be happier with how much she has learned and how much she has grown as a tiny dancer under Melissa’s instruction. Music, routines, and costumes are all age appropriate. You won’t see tiny dancers with their bare midriffs twerking here.

Your first ballet class at Elite Dance Force

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.
