We've been with Elite since 2016 between my two daughters, who both started dancing at age 3. Our…read moreoldest has moved on to other interests, but our 7-year-old continues with ballet and loves it. I've watched Elite grow from a smaller studio into the powerhouse it is today. Elite is an excellent dance studio, from day one through their very polished recitals. It's important to note that this is not a cutesy/playtime type of studio. Dance is a discipline, and so dress code and presentation are taken seriously. For first-timers, that might feel a little intimidating, but there's a reason behind it. Hair and makeup need to be spot-on for recitals, because there's always a chance your cute 3 or 4-year-old might get on stage and just stand there! But guess what? They'll look fantastic doing it. And then, year after year, you'll see their confidence and ability grow. As a parent, you will need to stay on top of recital packets to know who/what/where/when, and I find Elite to be very thorough in the material they send out, or if you simply call them ahead of time. Another perk.. they have a professional photographer who takes photos on stage and backstage at shows/recitals for FREE. As well as a videographer, which is very much appreciated. The owner, Toni, taught my oldest years ago and is fantastic, both as a teacher and as a business owner. Neither of my girls have ever been on team, but both have always enjoyed their classes. The teachers are wonderful with age-appropriate instruction (shout out to Miss Princess with the littles) and technique. My 7-year-old only takes one ballet class currently, yet she could not be more excited to be performing in The Nutcracker for her second year in a row. Needless to say, we love Elite!

The dance teacher was often late. We were charged around $50 for a costume for the recital and our…read morechild was given used clothes from a tote that did not match her peers. When we addressed this with the owner she offered no remedy. During the dance recital another parent physically assaulted our child by grabbing her arm and the dance studio did little to nothing to address this and wouldn't even provide concrete info about who assaulted our child. That parent should have been removed from the facility. We will be filing charges. The studio owner was rude and indignant. I would NOT recommend you use this studio unless you want to pay a bunch of money for your child to learn next to nothing and then be charged for used and raggedy clothes (we had to have our daughter wear her outfit from last year from a different studio despite being charged). The staff will speak disrespectfully to your children and make no efforts to address concerns. They also charge $20 a ticket to go to your child's recital and won't let you record because they want you to pay for their recording. I'm disgusted that my child was put in old used clothes, treated horribly by staff, and assaulted at her recital with no action taken. Your child is not safe at this studio. They don't care about the safety and well-being of their students. They only care about getting as much money as they can without providing hardly any actual instruction.

I like that they allow for makeup classes and you can also take a class at a different location if you can't make your regularly scheduled session (we had to do this once and it was super easy to setup).

I came here because of the reviews and proximity to my home in Tarzana. I have a wedding coming up…read moreand my date loves to salsa but I don't know how... so without her knowledge, I decided to take as many private lessons within a 37 day period to learn as much as I can. Andrey, who is also the owner with his wife, Victoria, became my instructor. Andrey continuously teaches me everything from the basic steps to more advance spins and moves. I started on June 18th and will be finishing up sometime in mid July before my trip. He makes the scenario comfortable and professional. I realize it's important to be taught by a man, because they understand how to lead. He is extremely patience as I've never danced before. If you plan to learn how to salsa, I advise to take private lessons and record each session so you can practice at home.. this is so you can progress comfortably with each session with Andrey. I highly recommend coming here. The facility is clean, and has several rooms. Everyone is friendly and it's an enjoyable atmosphere. They of course do more than just salsa. You'll be in good hands.

But ever since new ownership, they reached out to me and said everything would change so I took the chance to come back and see for myself and it was a complete 360 degree change. The studio was completely remodeled and new dances were set and were constantly encouraged by the owner to keep being the best we could be. Ever since coming back ive been her for 4 years and will keep coming till my knees give out. Really an amazing difference when you have a new owner that cares for the future of dance studio with the dancers included bring us all closer together. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS STUDIO ESSPECIALLY FOR ARMENIAN DANCE. IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE THIS A 1,000,000/10 STARS

I'm not sure how frequently they have classes for kids but the Pierce Extension class is well worth it. Come check it out!

Other than being an amazing choreographer, dancer, and teacher, she has done so much to help with my self esteem. She teaches you to embrace yourself no matter what shape or size.

She's open to you putting your own spin on things and it's a great place to be yourself. I look forward to my continued journey with her.
