Elite Dance Academy

These classes are for students from ages 3 to 5 who are interested in learning what dance is all about. Basic techniques and combinations will be taught creating a solid foundation for all forms of dance. Ballet, tap and jazz will be explored at elementary levels

Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's individual style and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way. Jazz dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance.

Lyrical dance is a modern dance form which fuses modern dance, jazz, and ballet. Lyrical dance is often referred to as contemporary dance. It requires excellent technique to perform, as the moves are often difficult and precise. Moreover, the dancer must be well aware of facial expressions, essentially acting, to properly perform a lyrical dance piece.

Hip-hop is a dance style, usually danced to hip-hop music, that evolved from the hip-hop culture. The first dance associated with hip-hop was breakdancing. While breakdancing consists primarily of moves executed close to the ground, the majority of hip-hop moves are done standing up.

Ballet is a traditional form of dance dating back to the Italian Renaissance. Our classes will teach your dancer how to express herself through leaps, turns and traditional ballet movements. Because many of the techniques that are learned in Ballet are modified and expanded on in other forms of dance, it's a great place for new dancers to start out!

Tap dancing is an exciting form of dance in which dancers wear special shoes equipped with metal taps. Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and timely beats. The term "tap dancing" is derived from the tapping sound produced when the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes touch a hard floor or surface.
