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!

Everyone is kind, patient, and genuinely excited to help kids grow, not just as dancers, but as confident little humans. The teachers are phenomenal. They're professional and incredibly skilled, but what stands out most is how gentle and encouraging they are with the kids. They know how to make class fun while still teaching solid technique, and our child looks forward to every single session. We've seen such a wonderful improvement in our kiddos coordination, confidence, and overall love of movement. The progress is real, but so is the joy--and that's what makes this studio so special. It's a place where kids are supported, challenged, and celebrated. As a parent, there's nothing better than seeing your child thrive in an environment that feels safe, fun, and full of heart. Highly recommend to any family looking for a dance studio that also provides community!

My youngest daughter's teacher was not consistently there, life happens and I understand that however when the recital came, it was clear the kids didn't know the dance. I've also witnessed on several occasions the kids being spoken to in nasty, unfriendly tones by more than one instructor and or employee. At the recital multiple kids were yelled at in front of parents by Angela. This is unacceptable behavior coming from a business that is supposed to be there to support military families. This is supposed to be a fun environment for kids and it sadly missed that mark this year. I will be taking my kids to a different studio from now on. Hopefully things can get better in the future after some reflection.

Which isn't a problem as personally I prefer a more relaxed environment. Especially for an intro class. However, I didn't particularly respect being told I didn't qualify for the new client special, that was definitely a choice on their part. But I'm writing this review more so because upon leaving-- there was a safety concern in the parking lot... make sure you carry whatever defense tools you prefer when attending this studio. This isn't any fault of their own, so I wouldn't hold it against them, as they do take safety measures of covered windows and locked doors during sessions. But I thought it important to mention. Overall I think they are a nice addition to the dance community here in town :) best wishes for continued success.
