From the reviews

My girls started dancing at Elite around 8+ years ago. After having negative experiences with other dance studios, I was hesitant to to sign them up at a new studio and trusting that it would be the right environment.

★★★★★ — Susan, May 2017

Hands down best studio in SLC! Talented and kind instructors that really care about each dancer! A great place for all ages! They offer unique classes on top of the classics! On top of that the director Lesley Smith is the best! Always looking to make the studio the best it can be! LOVE ELITE DANCE STUDIO!

★★★★★ — Sydney, Apr 2019

We have been at elite for 8 years the experience and friendships we have made over the years are amazing. I highly recommend elites staff and expertise. I will never be able to thank each teacher and Lesley for all their hard work and dedication they put into all their success.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, May 2017

Moving to SLC was a abrupt for my family and I and really tough on my preteen dancer. She was leaving her team, her solo coach, and her dance school where she first made team. Finding a comparable dance school to meet her needs and provide consistency in her life was not easy, in search nor in financial situations.

Your first ballet class at Elite Dance Studio

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.
