After my two daughters spent 16 years being part of the Elite competitive division, we are saying goodbye to a place that lets kids be kids, a place that teaches them to be passionate, hard-working, respectful and to have fun while doing amazing and beautiful dances. A place where my kids felt at home, safe, and happy while at the studio and where they built some of their strongest friendships and grew into confident young ladies thanks to the support, knowledge, and dedication of the owner Candice and all the teachers at Elite. In all these years, we were always looking forward to new choreography, costumes, solos, recitals, and competitions. When you see your child truly enjoying and being challenged to grow as a dancer, you are thankful that you found a place like Elite.

Elite has been such an important place for our daughter over the last 8 years and I can not thank the staff and the teachers enough. They brought fun, structure, and gave my daughter the love of dance. All the other tangibles she learned – “performing in front of people”, teamwork, discipline – were because of the studio and the people who run it. Elite is so incredibly organized and the way they communicated with parents was amazing. Elite Dance Academy is overall an incredible studio and I highly encourage any dancer to join.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why should I put my child in dance?
Dance is a great way to keep your child active in a fun and positive environment!
Dance has physical, mental and emotional benefits including instilling confidence, getting exercise, helping develop self-awareness, learning discipline, helping self-expression and developing social skills all while learning proper dance technique. The benefits are endless!
How long are classes?
Typically classes are 45 minutes and students attend class once per week. Many students will take more than one style and many classes run back to back to make driving easier for parents
How long is the dance season?
The dance season is a 34-week program with classes running from September through June. Classes are cancelled on holidays.
What should my child wear?
Students do not need a specific uniform; however, they will need dance attire appropriate for the class they are attending – i.e. bodysuit, tights and ballet slippers for Ballet. Please see the class schedules/Registration page for more attire information. We have a used dance shoe/attire book at the studio so parents can opt to buy items second hand, making dance very affordable!
Is there a performance?
Yes! All classes perform in the year end recital in June (students can opt out of the recital – please be sure to notify the office if this is the case)
What are all of the fees associated with recreational dance?
There will be a one-time registration fee of $25.00 for single student or $40.00 per family
Monthly tuition fees start at $69/month and the program runs for 10 months.
Tuition fees are paid on the 1st of each month.
Dancer Financial Support
EDA Fundraising Committee - Families at Elite Dance Academy organize 4-5 fundraisers throughout the season (September-June) to help raise money for your dancer to put towards their dance program.
