Megan and Bruce have provided a safe and welcoming environment for our girl to shine over the years. Even though our daughter took a short break to try other things she found herself back here at Elements. We are so excited to watch her gain new skills and have the sense of community Elements offers. Thank you all for giving a family feel so close to home, along with keeping the music and outfits age appropriate. Such a wonderful studio!!

We recently switched to Elements this year and have been throughly impressed by not only the quality of the teaching and the implementation of key skills being taught, but also the kindness and true compassion shown by all staff members. Everyone at Elements have made my daughter feel at home as if she has been there for years! We couldn’t be happier with our choice of a dance studio and look forward to many more years at Elements. 💜🩵

Ms. Angela is an absolute rockstar with my little girl! She has the perfect mix of patience, kindness, and fun that keeps her listening, learning, and truly growing each week. My daughter comes home showing off her new moves and counting down the days until her next class—she genuinely loves being there.

The studio itself is so welcoming and supportive. You can tell they really care about creating a positive, confidence-building environment for the kids. If you’re looking for a place where your child will feel encouraged, engaged, and excited to learn, I can’t recommend this dance class enough!

My family and I cannot say enough great things about Elements Dance Academy!
Megan has created a truly remarkable place where the focus is not just on technique, but on developing the whole person. This is a safe place where dancers are heard, supported, valued, and encouraged to be the best versions of themselves. The teachers are professional, dedicated, and do a great job of challenging students while always staying a positive and encouraging. We love that EDA offers a variety of dance styles as well as different class levels where dancers can continue to grow and learn new skills, as well as challenge themselves without feeling overwhelmed. We love how EDA aids in helping dancers with body confidence, character development, within a nurturing environment!

Our little Evelynn has been going to Elements Dance Academy for around 6 ish years. All of the dance instructors are wonderful that we have had the privilege of getting to know. Angela, Hanna, Chloe and Megan have such a special place in our hearts. Evelynn has went from create a dance, ballet a few time, hip-hop and back to ballet with a side of Tumbling.
If you are looking for a place for your little ones to gain friendship, skills and have fun, I highly recommend joining this academy . 🥰

When we enrolled our girls at Elements Dance Academy, we were hoping they would find a social outlet here in town. What we soon discovered was that Elements offered so much more. The girls found a place to belong, to be encouraged, to be built up and even to be prayed for in hard moments. They were accepted and poured into by the staff in a way that I never expected. They have grown as dancers and in character which has launched them into leadership roles at the studio. We couldn’t be more grateful for EDA. It is a real gift to our community!

My daughter tried out Elements with a friend one day and came back LOVING it. She started tumbling the next week. Previously, we’d tried a bigger gymnastics place but because they didn’t test her at the start, she was put in a lower level and not challenged. It was somewhat discouraging and she felt overlooked.
We had a completely different experience at Elements. At her first tumbling session, she came home talking about how much the instructor worked with her and each of the students at their own skill level. In 7 months, she was able to nail down multiple skills that she hadn’t done previously.
The owner of the studio communicated regularly, we always knew what was going on.
At the end of year recital, we were glad to see all of their costumes were beautiful and age appropriate (and the theme had an encouraging message for all of the dancers). She wants to try even more classes in the fall.

This was my son’s very first time trying any kind of dance, and he jumped into tap at Elements Dance Academy with a lot of enthusiasm and zero tap experience. It was awesome. The owner, Megan, is incredibly sweet and welcoming. The instructors are amazing with the kids and know how to make it fun while still teaching real skills.

The front desk superstar on Mondays and Tuesdays is an absolute gem. She’s always friendly, helpful, and somehow stays calm even when things are busy. The whole studio feels encouraging and kid-friendly, which made it a great first experience for us.

Also, very important bonus points for location. There’s a Pizza Hut right next door and a Mexican restaurant just down the strip. Dance class and dinner, all in one stop.

Highly recommend Elements if you’re looking for a place that’s supportive, fun, and run by people who really care.

My children have been taking dance classes at Elements Dance Academy for the last three years. It has been a wonderful experience for all of us. My son and daughter love their dance classes and their instructors. The classes (Creative Movement, Creative Dance, Pre-Ballet, and Jr Hip Hop) have been the perfect blend of fun and technique. The instructors are extremely personable and really make an effort to know you and your child. I appreciate the values and atmosphere (grit, generosity, gratitude, and grace plus the incredible community events for building connections and relationships) of this dance studio and feel it is the perfect fit for our family. I really feel like part of a close-knit community at EDA. I cannot recommend EDA enough!

My daughter has been taking pre-ballet at ELEMENTS Dance Academy for the past year, and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we first walked into the studio, the owners made us feel completely at home. Megan, the owner, pours her heart into everything she does—it's clear how much she cares about the dancers and their families.

What really sets ELEMENTS apart is the way joy and positivity are woven into every part of the experience. Megan creates special moments throughout the year that make the dancers feel celebrated and supported, which has meant so much to us.

Whether you’re just starting out or have years of dance experience, I highly recommend ELEMENTS Dance Academy. It’s more than just a dance studio—it’s a community that truly cares.

We have been at Elements almost 6 months now and it has been an answer to prayer. I was starting to get really discouraged about finding a studio for my 11-year old beginner where she wouldn't feel overwhelmed or behind. She had a negative experience at our local studio over the Summer so I was worried that this was going to keep happening. We tried a free class at Elements and we were welcomed as we walked through the door. Her teacher Angela is beyond sweet and you can just tell she loves the kids and doing this job. The owner, Megan is always around, teaching classes and talking to everybody and she knew/remembered our names right away. Then during the class, I saw my daughter up on the TV screen in the lobby dancing around the room and having so much fun, and I knew it was the place for us! I love that the approach is not competitive but more for fun and character-building, and that there is room for the kids to have creative freedom in their dancing. I also love the atmosphere of the studio (the colors, and the spaceis nice and clean), and I have also noticed how well-organized and well-communicated all of the information is which I really appreciate. I can't say enough about them - highly recommend to anyone!

I love this dance studio. I hesitated in the past to enroll my daughter in dance because..well stereotypes tend to be based in truth, but Elements was recommended to me and I decided to go for it last year. (My daughter had been asking for YEARS to be in dance.) I love that they offer a daytime option for homeschoolers, and that they do things and get involved with the community. Everything they do here has a deeper purpose and added layer of meaning and function, it is not just superficial stereotypical dance stuff. It's been a great experience so far and we will continue to enroll as long as my daughter is interested.

Best kept secret in Platte City! Youth dance studio ELEMENTS is now offering classes for adults! In a highly supportive and fun environment, you can learn to twirl, tap or SALSA! The owners Megan and Bruce want to empower grownups—that’s you and me—to stay active in an energetic and fun non-competitive environment. No prior experience is necessary! I am taking a ballet class now, something I have always wanted, and absolutely love it. Megan and Bruce are willing to listen to what the community is asking for, and new class offering are being added. Whether you sign up for the weekly lessons or a one night special dance event, give ELEMENTS a chance—and help spread the word!

Megan is such a warm and genuine person, she loves her students and cares for them so much. She puts her heart into every part of each dance so much and it shows!

She is so dedicated to her work and the TLC she shows each child is incredible. She gives so much of herself to each child and knows every single one by name and each family as well.

Megan ensures she pays attention as well, it is quite refreshing to have someone who is so attentive and kind.

We also love that Elements is not a competitive style dance Academy, it is more about the fun and not a pressured environment for our daughter.

It is about doing your best and Learning how to dance for the fun of it while learning the basics and advancing along the way.

Megan is the most self-less instructor — she is truly there for the best interests of the students and to teach them creative movement. To give some background, I have danced since I was 4 years old, danced competitively in my hometown dance studio, danced on my college dance team, became captain and taught studio dance lessons/competition choreography after that. I was lucky enough to assist with Elements’ first dance recital (and will hopefully help out for all the rest of them!).

Out of all the recitals was I was a part of, the Elements recital showed me something I hadn’t seen in a long time. The students faces after performing were beaming — they held themselves higher, and walked with such purpose and accomplishment. It was so incredible to watch and I told Megan I would be back year after year just to see those faces shine like that again. The amount of confidence every student had after performing was incredible and inspiring.

If you have a child or children who crave creative expression, or are independent, or thrive in a team-work atmosphere, or need an activity to be involved in, I highly recommend Elements. This studio does not pressure students or families and truly believes every student is capable of growing and should grow at their own pace. Dance and choreography basics are held to a high standard, and your student will be a better dancer after taking lessons at Elements.

I could keep typing positive things about Elements studio until my fingers bled, so I will spare those who have read this far already! This studio has brought so much “community” to Platte City and has completely revitalized my love for dance again.

My 10 yr old daughter attended both the Hip-Hop and Musical Theatre Dance camps last week. She really loved the variety of activities Megan provided every day. They did crafts, water games, dance routines, skits, in addition to learning about the background and key elements of dance and theatre. It is clear that Megan (instructor and owner) has many years of experience with dance and teaching. Not only does she have an incredible amount of dance knowledge, but she is positive and truly cares about every one of her students. I highly recommend this studio for any person of any age that not only wants to dance, but have loads of fun while doing so. - Angela H.

We attended the toddler class today and it was so much fun! My little one is 1 years old and she absolutely loved the music and movements. We had so much fun that Violet took a two hour nap when we got home from class! If you are looking for a fun class for both mom and toddler, this is it! You will have some amazing bonding time with your little one and you might get a two hour nap afterwards as well! :) We are definitely going back!

My daughter goes to dance here and we are so thankful to have her in this program. Megan is the best teacher and is knowledgeable in all types of dance. They made their studio so inviting with the new decor and also sell Elements dance apparel. Couldn’t be happier with them and hope my daughter goes there for years to come.

Elements Dance Academy is phenomenal. The owners, Megan and Bruce are truly wonderful and caring. For Megan, this studio and teaching dance isn't just a job...it's her passion. She has impacted my daughter's life and taught her a true love for dance (especially ballet). But she doesn't just teach dance. She teaches her students life skills that they will carry with them forever. Gratitude+Grace+Grit+Generosity, are values that are lived by and taught in every class at Elements.

My 8 year old daughter has absolutely loved taking private lessons with Megan. My daughter has Down syndrome and Megan is so patient and has done an amazing job of working with her and helping her with her body movement and learning dance basics. She has learned ballet positions, creative movement, body awareness and more. I really think her time with Megan has helped her development and even more important she is developing a love for dance. We are excited for her to start group classes this summer at EDA!

I am beyond privileged to have had Mrs. Megan Adams as my dance teacher/ instructor, dance department director and my mentor. Being apart of the San Luis High School Dance Department for four years with having Mrs. Megan Adams as my dance teacher made a significant impact in my life. Under her instruction for a year, I instantly noticed an improvement on my dance technique, flexibility, endurance, strength and integrity as a dancer. She highlights both the weaknesses and strengths of the dancer and coordinates how to improve the student in all aspects.

Mrs. Megan Adams not only helped instill self-confidence in my movement, however, as an individual in a whole. I became the Student Director of the Dance Department for two of my years there under her supervision. She truly challenged my creativity, social skills, leadership skills, and my critical thinking skills. I choreographed dances that consisted of over 230 dancer, group dances, and solo dances with the guidance of her knowledgeable critiques. These assets that she guided in me truly transcending not only in the execution of my movement, however, in everything that consisted in my daily life.

I now attend the University of Arizona and furthered my education in dance due to her support. Under the prestigious dance program of the "U of A", I have participated in Jazz, Western-African, and Modern Dance classes. In every class, I have been commended for my creativity and diverse dance knowledge, which I refer to Mrs. Megan Adams for allowing this in me.

Furthermore, because of the integrity as a dancer and individual that she has mentored us with, I am happy to say that she is a major influencer towards my interest of Exercise Physiology and my path of attending Medical School. She taught the importance of one's physical anatomy and how that correlates to each movement that the dancer does. Also, we covered the diverse pathways that a dancer can take towards their future careers.

Having 100's of students under the years of her instruction, Mrs. Megan Adams has worked with parents well in meeting the needs of the dancer.

Mrs. Adams implements more than expected while teaching dance. She is not only EXTREMELY knowledgable in this art but she always finds a way to teach dancers to think abstractly, away from a cookie-cutter standpoint, and truly releases your inner-creativity.

Ms. Adams is very professional and friendly. My girls adore her! She will not just teach the basics and is open for every level dancer (including me as a beginner at 45!) She believes in molding every child's individual talents. I highly recommend her school for all your dance needs.
