From the reviews
Elite Fine Arts Academy is a great place for your children, to learn dance and many more valuable skills that the arts teach your children. Trudy and her staff are caring professional. I have worked with Trudy for many years, and she goes above and beyond for her students and families.
Elite Fine Arts Academy is truly a gem in the community. The level of instruction, professionalism, and genuine care for each dancer is unmatched. The teachers are not only technically skilled but also deeply passionate about nurturing every child’s confidence, creativity, and personal growth.
Both of my daughters dance here, and we absolutely love this studio! My youngest has been dancing here since she was 4, and my oldest for 8 years—and they still look forward to every class. The teachers are kind, talented, and truly invested in their students.
Our girl has been dancing at Elite for 9 years, beginning at age 5. It has been the most wonderful experience for her. She has learned not only to be a great dancer, but most importantly, poise, confidence, caring and respect for others, teamwork, and so much more.
Your first ballet class at Elite Fine Arts 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.
