My 7 year old started with a group class and loved it so much she asked for private lessons. Lynssay is an amazing instructor. She is fun and keeps the little ones on task. My 14 year old is now interested in ballroom. Everyone treats us like family and is super supportive. We have loved it so much. I have taken ballroom from other studios and this is my favorite!

I cannot find a flaw in Elite Dance Studio, and I'm good at finding flaws. Gorgeous studio, Super Friendly Staff, everyone there knows their job! The quality of instruction is top notch. I've been to studios who let amateurs teach classes and it's a joke. Every person who teaches at Elite is ridiculously knowledgeable, and some are actually Internationally Ranked Pro's! You seriously can't go wrong starting your dance career, or just having fun dancing, at Elite!

I love elite dance studio! Beautiful big dance floor and great dance instructors. Very professional! They really care that you learn even in group classes. Instructors dance with everyone at the dance parties not only their private students.
