From the reviews
I danced here for 10 wonderful years. All the teachers here are dedicated to each student and helping them grow as a dancer. I loved every year I spent training at this studio. Every teacher has their own personal experience with dance, bringing inside knowledge and variety to each class.
Owners are incredibly conscious of the facility. Very well taken care of. The school produces great recitals and a wonderfully inclusive learning environment for all kids in the arts. The music and dance lessons are top notch and the kids respect and appreciate the environment greatly.
GREAT dance studio! The teachers are great and the owners are absolutely wonderful. The place is always spotless and their guests are well taken care of. I am always so impressed with every detail. Thanks for providing a wonderful facility for my daughters so grow in. 10/5 stars!
I have been impressed with SEDMA! Our daughter has been dancing with the studio for years, and she has blossomed into an excellent dancer. What impresses me the most?
Your first ballet class at San Elijo Dance & Music 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.
