At Elite Dance Academy we help our students excel by guiding their creative thinking as they learn about technique, choreography, and music. We promote teamwork and respect of others through an emphasis on classroom, rehearsal, and group performance etiquette. Additionally, by participating in our Apprentice/TA (teacher's assistant) program students have an opportunity to develop and hone leadership skills.
We are very happy with this studio. They focus on teaching proper technique and help every single dancer to achieve their goals. On top of that Ms. Gia, Ms Bree and the rest of the instructors are very knowledgeable of what they do. They teach good discipline along with building self confidence. My daughter feels appreciated and very happy.
