Would highly recommend to check out the studio.

I love ballet. I love how in Rochester there are so many opportunities to experience the arts,…read moreincluding dance and music. I saw the most recent production of The Nutcracker with the RCB, and as always, I was blown away by the intricacy of the choreography and the thought that was put into every detail, from the costumes, to the set, to the lighting. This year, I noticed some changes to the choreography that I really loved--they are always striving to improve and find new methods of storytelling! This year, in addition to the performances at Eastman Theatre with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, there were also performances held at Canandaigua Academy. I very much appreciated that because the tickets were at a much lower price point, which allowed me to be able to enjoy the performance, and I'm sure many other people who wouldn't have necessarily been able to attend the pricier performances at Eastman. I'm so glad that Rochester has such a thriving professional dance community, and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

My daughter has danced at Elite since she was little and is now in middle school and is currently…read moreon the competition team. Every year there is a recital where everyone performs from the littles to the seniors and it is wonderful. As a parent you can see your child's progress as they grow, but nothing is more special than seeing the support from the older girls to the younger girls. Classes include ballet/tap/jazz combination as well as specialty classes like hip hop and lyrical and more! The teachers are very supportive and positive and make the dance experience - which is a sport in my humble opinion, enjoyable - dance is hard work but fun a beautiful to watch - Elite makes sure all the kids are stars! Elite is our home away from home and we look forward to many more years of dancing!

Watching someone you grew up with step into their dream and absolutely thrive is something special…read more This studio is a true reflection of her heart--intentional, organized, and built with so much care. The training here stands out immediately. Technique is a priority, and it's taught with precision and purpose. Every class is thoughtfully planned so each dancer is truly learning and progressing, not just going through the motions. You can see that same level of detail in everything else too--from well-organized picture days to beautifully executed recitals that feel seamless and special for every family involved. Nothing is overlooked. Now that my daughter dances here, she knows the expectation--hard work, focus, and pushing herself to be better every day. It's not just about dancing, it's about discipline and growth, and I love that she's being challenged in the best way. And the passion? It's everywhere. It starts at the top and trickles down into the culture, the dancers, and even the little details like the apparel. So proud to watch this dream come to life--and even more grateful my daughter is able to be apart of something so intentional and inspiring.

New owner Katie is incredibly immature and has brought the overall moral in this studio down. Katie…read morehas created a toxic environment for students and parents. She has tried to implement ideas to add structure to the studio (which we all loved the idea of) but because she is so incredibly immature it has been more negative than anything. She talks terribly about parents and students she doesn't like (as if she doesn't think word gets around). She is quickly gaining the reputation of saying one thing and doing another. It's a shame because our kids have been dancing with each other for years and still have a passion for their craft. So we are forced to shut our mouths for the sake allowing our kids to dance with their friends they've become so close with over the years. Most of the parents are professionals and business owners themselves. And are genuinely shocked when they communicate with her. And even more shocked at how immature she is when she walks around the studio. For lack of better words, she's reminding us of everything we hated about high school. Please do yourself a favor and rethink placing your child in this studio. Go somewhere that you're comfortable allowing your child to spend a lot of time at. Because once they've established friendships and their place on a team it's nearly impossible to place them in a different studio. Thank goodness for most of the teachers there. But you better hold your breath if you get a teacher that's in cahoots with her because your child WILL loose their passion for all things dance. One more thing. They should've checked the tags for the costumes they charged $120 for last year. We know it was $9.89 from Shein. We ordered it to make sure and it was the SAME EXACT ITEM. Same tag and everything.

I've attended drop in and refresher improv classes here and can't say enough good things about the instructors and feel. If you're brand new to improv or a bit more seasoned, The Focus likely has an offering to meet your needs. They have a new space in the Sibley Building downtown, and are building up to more performances and offerings there in the coming weeks. I am looking forward to getting back sometime in the very near future and can't wait to see the amazing things they cook up.
