★★★★★ — Bates, Apr 2024

My daughters have danced at this studio for 2 years now. My older daughter is on the competition team and my younger daughter is in recreational classes. We couldn’t be happier with the love, support, and education they receive from the staff at MEDC.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Apr 2024

My daughter started in a recreational cheer class and has blossomed into a beautiful dancer. She’s learned so much at this studio, not only in skills but also to be a confident, strong young lady. The owner and teachers know exactly how to teach your child to succeed! Would highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Kelly, Apr 2024

This studio is amazing. We drive past many other studios to go here. The transformation in my two daughters in under a years time is incredible. Every student is important here, no matter what level and experience you have prior. They simply want you to be the best version of you and want you to achieve your goals.

Your first ballet class at Midwest 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.

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.
