We attended this studio for 3 years. I kept hoping they would show more interest in the regular classes but the main staff is pretty focused on the competition teams/girls only. The studio was obviously growing which was a good sign, but it wasn’t the regular classes that were the focus. I felt like the classes my girls took were not teaching my girls HOW to dance. The class just learned A dance, technique is important not just learning choreographed steps. The other thing I did not love was that many of the teachers changed often, sometimes 2-3 times in one season. I also found it odd how little it seemed that the dances were counted off. Any time I ever saw a dance practice the teacher was always counting down the dance steps to the music. The teachers here don’t really do that. It also made me crazy when they had the girls do pictures the last day before the dance recital and didn’t have the classes practice on the stage. Maybe they had the older more advanced classes do a dress rehearsal, but my oldest was 10, and was very into her class and she was never part of any rehearsals. When you have young kids in makes for less than stellar “final” performances because they get really overwhelmed being on a big stage ONE time. I would have been perfectly happy to have gotten my girls more involved with the studio, but unless you are basically begging to be on the dance team they don’t really pay attention to you. If you are super interested in being on a competition team this is the place, if you are looking for a place for your girls to learn skills and decide if dance is there thing, this isn’t really the place. It’s really difficult nowadays to let your kids decide what they wanna do when every place wants you to pick one activity before they’re even five years old😕

Best dance studio in town! The instructors are professional, dedicated and invested in the dancers. My daughter has found a home in the uplifting community and has absolutely thrived here. She has grown immensely in her dancing skills and technique. We love Elite!

My daughters danced at Elite when in High school. While they are currently in college, the experience at Elite stays with us. Nicole was not only a dance teacher but a mentor that I trusted with my girls. Highly recommend!

We've been at Elite since moving to the area in 2021. Being a military family we've had no choice but to do recreational dance everywhere weve lived. My daughter has been dancing since 3 and has not had much opportunity to be a part of a team until we found Elite. We're going on 3 years at this studio and second year on competition team. It took us a little bit to feel at home but with recent positive changes, we're now very proud to be at EDA. I highly recommended Elite Academy for attention to detail, proper technique,
and amazing choreography.

My daughter has been at Elite since she started dancing in 2019. The growth I have seen in my daughter in 4 years at this dance studio, in both dance and confidence, is beyond anything I could have hoped for or imagined. Nicole and her dedicated group of instructors pour into their students not only technically sound dance training but positivity, love, and confidence. Nicole truly cares about these girls and I can't count the amount of dance AND life lessons my girl has learned from her. My daughter has made forever friendships and we have a second family at Elite Academy of Dance. So excited for the future and to see how she and all of the other dancers #levelupatElite!

Nicole and staff has been an integral part of my daughter’s life since she was five years old. While I don’t not understand all there is about the dance world, I know she works her butt off and has such a sense of loyalty and belonging. Thank you Elite for all you pour into my dancer and my family.

We have been part of the Elite Dance Academy family for six years. My little dancer came to a summer camp and immediately fell in love. Her love has blossomed due to the loving and professional atmosphere. She has shown so much growth and progress under amazing leadership and community. This is our second home and we wouldn’t change it. Technique, ballet, acro, hip hop, jazz, tap; they do it all! I highly recommend this dance studio.

Elite is such a great dance studio for all levels of dancers. Our family has been with Elite since 2016. Nicole and all of the teachers pour all the love and technique into all of the girls. The environment is encouraging a challenging at the same time. If you’re looking for a dance studio, you should definitely consider Elite first.

My daughter has grown so much as a dancer under Nicole’s tutelage. The faculty and staff are fantastic. I really appreciate how accommodating everyone is at the studio. They teach proper technique, everything is age appropriate, and they push each dancer to be a better dancer every time they are in the studio. My daughter loves coming here, and she has declared that she will stay here forever. (She plans on working here when she gets older 😆.)

My dancer has been growing steadily as part of the Elite family since 2019. I am in awe of the continuous support received, friendships made and the skills learned in this time. Team work, independence, confidence, technique across all genres of dance...I would wholeheartedly recommend the studio to anyone.

We moved to NC in 2019 and are so glad we found Elite. It is an amazing studio that truly feels like a family for my girls. Nicole and her staff have taught my girls so much over the past 4 years and we look forward to many many more years for my girls to grow and become the best dancers that they can be!
