Let's me start by saying that if you're not already signed up at The Dance Element - call Now to…read moresign up for yourself or your kids. Having been a student of dance for many years and as a patron and lover of dance, theatre and art, The Dance Element is head and shoulders above everything I've encountered short of Broadway in NY. Wilmington NC is lucky to have this gem. You can't imagine the care and thought that goes into every class, into the students well-being and into their showcase productions. The Dance Element owner is an extremely talented dancer in her own right with an amazing gift to help students learn to dance, have fun, master choreography and as a bonus build strong foundations to live confident lives. From a production/show point of view - I've had the pleasure of seeing productions from the audience's perspective and have been in awe of the beauty of how it all comes together. Recently, I've been able to see behind the scenes as the recent Christmas showcase "The Grinch" is coming to life. The set designs are spectacular, the artistry and creativity of the owner is nothing short of award winning. Her passion comes through every detail - she wants her students and their families to have the best experiences and she delivers on that promise. There's a tremendous amount of work that goes into developing a theme, creating the beautiful choreography, set designs that bring the story to life, lights, music and overall production but The Dance Element wouldn't do it any other way. This is not a cookie cutter dance studio. Hands down the best studio I've ever come across!

They would give feed back and my daughters would go home and work on it and come back to dance class wanting to show that they have improved. One of my daughters wants to keep advancing in dance and Mrs.Amy sees her drive and makes sure she tells me so that i can put her in the classes she needs to perfect her craft. They just had there first showcase and you can see the hard work dedication from the dancers and the amazing teachers they have on staff. If you are looking for a dance school that cares about your dancers this is place you want to be.

Her classes don't feel like the 'I have to work out' classes, but more like a dance party. She is an excellent choreographer and the dances are so fun!

Yoga and pottery, could you have something more relaxing?…read more I haven't taken a yoga class in the studio but I have experienced Jess as a yoga teacher and I have to say it was awesome. She taught a class external to the studio and it was so relaxing. I am not a flexible yogi and I felt comfortable with the ease of it. I wasn't intimidated and she gave you poses to do if you couldn't manage others. Now the pottery? UGH - IN A GOOD WAY. I am taking one of the beginner pottery series through Pineapple with Steph. It's AMAZING. I am terrible at it buuuuuuuut the class is so fun, regardless of my talentless pottery skills. Steph teaches you how to do it all and makes it looks so easy but is so encouraging. The class is small and intimate so she can always help when you need it. It is so relaxing with the music and the groups. I love that there are hours you can go try it outside of class time too. It's a great place to get creative or relax, even buy some pottery! Love it.
