My daughter was a gymnast for seven years and competed for two of those years. Unfortunately, the…read morepressure eventually became too much for her, and she decided to step away from gymnastics and give dance a try at Elite Studio of Dance. From the very first day, she has never looked back! Since starting dance, I have watched her confidence grow tremendously. She looks forward to every practice and comes home excited to tell me all about what she learned and who she spent time with. She was welcomed with open arms by the other dancers and has made so many wonderful friends. One of the things I really appreciate about Elite Studio of Dance is the sense of community they create. I love that they take the time to do roll call at the beginning of class, giving the children an opportunity to introduce themselves, learn each other's names, and connect with one another. It may seem like something small, but I believe those little things make a big difference in helping children feel comfortable and included. The instructors and staff have also been incredible. Every interaction I've had with them has been professional, kind, and informative. When my daughter recently joined the competition team, I had a few questions about my payment plan. The staff responded to my email quickly and took the time to answer all of my questions. That level of communication and support is something I truly appreciate as a parent. I also love how the competition program is structured. The competition dancers practice alongside children who participate simply because they love dance and want to take classes recreationally. I think that creates inclusion rather than division. It allows the kids to learn from one another, build friendships, and feel like everyone is part of the same community. There was even a time when I accidentally mixed up my days and dropped my daughter off too early for practice. One of the instructors kindly allowed her to stay and participate in a class until her scheduled class began, even though she wasn't enrolled in that particular class. That small act of kindness meant so much to me because, otherwise, I would have had to leave work to pick her up. As a parent, one of the most important things to me is knowing that when I drop my child off, she is safe, welcomed, and surrounded by people who genuinely care about her. Those are just two of the many experiences that have made Elite Studio of Dance feel like so much more than a dance studio. It truly feels like a community. I'm so grateful we found this place. Watching my daughter rediscover her confidence, make friends, and genuinely love going to practice has been such a beautiful experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Elite Studio of Dance to any parent looking for a positive, welcoming, and supportive environment for their child.

We've taken classes here with several instructors and subs who were so kind and lovely to the kids…read more I really want to like this school. The dancers are amazing and we are always awed by their competition team performances (my friend's kids compete here) but we were taken aback by a recent encounter that I'm still pondering about to feel. I want to be honest and candid in my feedback as I hope this can be used to improve the school. As parents, we always followed the rules and would drop off esp for ballet class since the owner was strict on this policy (after first class) to not be a distraction to the kids. We've taken intro to dance, ballet 1, and this year was hoping due to schedule reasons enroll in ballet 1/2. We have been doing 2 recitals (which are expensive by the way and cost $100 per dress plus tickets you have to buy PER attendee (yes even toddler). The ballet class name this year was literally ballet 1/2 on the calendar initially and not ballet 2. To accommodate both daughters, I asked if we can enroll given we took ballet 1 the year before. We were told by the owner through text when we asked to change classes that this was ok and she was happy to welcome our daughter. However, we later found out after the second class (it was the first class with the owner as the very first class was with one of her substitutes whom she later told me was not up to standard with that class), that she decided to make it only a ballet 2 class. Therefore after telling my daughter and her friend they can enroll and even encouraging us to, she texted us we couldn't bc the "maturity level and skill level gap was too big." In retrospect, I wish she could've had a discussion with us parents after class face to face instead of delivering by text. I even told her this in response to her texts but to be fully transparent, the teacher never usually in the past communicate to us parents in person and only over text or via mass announcement on Band. In retrospect, I wish she never would've let my daughter in the class bc she said my daughter needed to go back to ballet 1 (which felt like a demotion just after 1 class in ballet 1/2). Yes, this did affect her self-confidence and in her desire to learn bc now my daughter says she loves to dance but doesn't know if dance CLASS is right for her. This is ironic since I was told by the owner/teacher "for her confidence, I want her to be in ballet 1 for a while before she's ready." It was very disheartening how she told other parents the same and one of which also enrolled in the ballet 1/2. My daughter cannot be with her friend anymore in class and my younger daughter (we come there bc of the convenient time) also had to dis-enroll bc of this change and it just left us feeling unsupported, which is disappointing because I always recommended their dance school to other parents and parent groups on social media and to several of my friends who enrolled. One of my friends was excited her daughter would be in same class as mine but this was not to be. All around just unfortunate with the level of communication and giving my daughter hope but then taking that away. She did offer 1 additional class for ballet 1 at the end of the month but thinking we may need some time away to think on this because my daughter still loves ballet and this school is conveniently located but we need some time to reconcile how we feel still about this encounter. I'm conflicted as my daughter loves dance but this recent incidence caused us to question if and when we will return.

She doesn't have the same level of fun at a normal dance studio because she is more reserved and she doesn't know the people there. That's been a big plus for us. Does she learn anything cool? Don't know. My daughter shows us very little of what she learns. The dance performance she dis at school was kinda weak; teacher said they only learned the dance that morning. My question was why they only prepared in the morning instead of 2 weeks ago. In any case, the key thing for us is the fun factor. And my daughter has a lot of fun. That's why the 4 stars. Otherwise I might give them a 3 based on the performance I saw.

My Ate Rachelle invited me to try out Step 1 Dance & Fitness' Wednesday 7pm beginner adult hip-hop…read moreclass with coach Joe H. Personally, I'm more of a Zumba gal so this style of dance was really out of my comfort zone and I didn't know what to expect. First time in, and the drop-in price for the class was $15. While waiting for the previous [full] class to finish in that room (Zumba), restrooms were all the way down the hall and they also have an Elkay water bottle filler. There were at least two or three more rooms in use for youth/teen classes, and folding chairs along the hallway for parents/spectators too. There were less than ten people total in the class by my estimate, and it is once a week recurring. It sounded like the past two weeks they were working on choreography moves, but this evening Joe wanted to focus on a basic skill tutorial/demo -- the Wave! The arm wave is one of the coolest foundational illusions in popping, where you make your arm look like a ripple of water. After a warmup meditative movement set, he really broke it down step by step, practicing each position, first a cappella then with music, slow first then sped up, then added variations/flair. Isolating each joint is the key: fingers/hands up, then pop wrist, elbow up, pop shoulder up, chest, then once at opposite shoulder, reverse the path down the other arm! He also showed us a trace wave transition into a body wave, popping the left knee, then right knee, hip, chest, head, then trace back to the arm/hand. You could even do the arm wave at shoulder level, down at your waist, with both arms parallel, or point at each pop of the body wave. He also showed us the difference between waving out versus waving in. One water break pause during the hour, but otherwise it was fun to learn and follow along. The class after us was Beg/Int Contemporary Fusion 8pm, then Heels at 8:30pm. For adults they also have Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Line Dance, Fierce Funk, Soca Dance Fitness, Stretch Fusion and Sculpt & Define. https://step1danceandfitness.com/pdfs/Adult-schedule.pdf
