I love that my brain still thinks I can whip out fouettes, when in reality, I'm far from even 50% as flexible as I once was. But finding the right studio is about getting to have fun and dance. I attended a Jazz Funk class at Play Studio and it was so fun! I appreciated that the class was a challenge. This studio is suited for people with dance experience. While there are likely people here training to dance professionally, there are also people who are just here for fun. But, I like that the classes are at a level that create a challenge and keep your brain moving as you move through the choreo. I hate a boring class and this wasn't the least bit boring at all. The class moved quickly! The vibe was good and it feels like there's a nice community here. I love the variety of options they have and I'm excited to try a pom class next. The studio is located on the second floor of the building. Parking in the area is tough. Although the studio has a parking lot, there are very few spots. There are paid spots across the street, but it's tough to find a free spot, so leave yourself some time.

I had previously attended one of their Latin Dance Parties, so I knew the venue would be perfect due to it being very spacious, classy, and in a great location.... Once I made contact with Serena, she made me feel so welcome along with making me feel comfortable about renting her studio for my son's graduation party. She was very helpful in providing me with vendors to help me with my event and was sweet enough to check in on me to ensure I had everything I needed to make this party a success. I do have an honorable mention for staff member Monica, who was extremely helpful the day of the event and helped keep the evening running smoothly.

When we first tried parent-and-tot classes elsewhere, my daughter felt overwhelmed by all the adults and people in the room. The Element was the only studio we found that offered a class for two-year-olds without parents in the room, so we decided to give it a try--and I'm so glad we did! Mrs. Sydney was incredibly patient as my daughter took her time warming up and becoming comfortable. Even when she was hesitant in class, it was clear that she loved it because she would come home and excitedly show us everything she had learned. These classes aren't just waving ribbons and doing free dance--the children are learning real dance skills and building confidence from a very young age. Mrs. Kai has also been wonderful with my daughter in acro. We are so excited to continue growing with this studio for years to come. As an added bonus, I have even made some wonderful new mom friends! The Element is such a welcoming, positive place, and we feel very lucky to have found it.

They sure know what they are doing- turning tiny humans into the most amazing dancers and performers! The kids learn to love dance but actually learn quality technique along the way. My kids completely excelled in dance as soon as we started here. It's amazing to see the growth in their ability and confidence on stage. Not to mention, attending the end of year recital and seeing the bond between teachers and the students who started dancing there as tots and were now graduating as seniors -- it brought tears to everyone's eyes as you could see they had become a true family and they were now on to their next journey! AND the dancers were absolutely incredible! Growing up in dance that is what is most important- an environment where you can build long lasting relationships, feel supported, build confidence and character while perfecting your skill along the way. Element is the place for that!
