The best dance studio in town! This studio offers classes in a wide variety of dance genres, the instructors are always kind and patient with students, and their recitals and performances are fantastic. Even while having to close doors temporarily for the "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order, the owner moved quickly in transitioning to online classes and conferences with instructors. Spokane Elite is awesome!

My daughter has been dancing at Spokane Elite Dance Studio for nine years. I cannot say enough about what a good investment this has been for her in so many ways. Because of the care and support her instructors give her, her personal development has been affected in every way. Her instructors care deeply about her as a dancer, but more importantly, as a person. On top of that, it's such a healthy environment where all kids are welcome and cherished. This is literally my daughters second home. This is a family and it shows.
