Elite Academy of Dance

We have become a part of Elite’s Academy of Dance family last year. My daughter loves to dance and we found this new program to better fit her needs. I have seen the studio perform at a Dance Competition and was impressed with the quality of dance, the choreography, music and costume choices. What impressed me the most, however, was the team’s camaraderie. These kids are so supportive of each other that I wished for my daughter to experience something this awesome. They looked so «happy» to be there and doing what they love.
The studio has many dancers and parents so it’s definitely not possible to know everyone but there is a special inclusiveness that I feel. The staff is phenomenal. The studio Director, Jennie Newman-​Scheiwe is an amazing leader that I can’t praise enough. What impressed me about her professionalism is how extremely organized she is and how she provides the parents patiently with detailed information about everything and always seems to go the extra mile. Her students are thought to be kind and welcoming towards new dancers and because there are so many kids, it seems like friendships form easily. There is room for any dancer, of any level and commitment.
It was a tough choice for my daughter to switch studios and she did not transition easily. It was hard for me as well to watch her struggle and to put herself in this new environment. It was a big challenge for her, but Elite’s studio culture and welcoming attitude of the staff, teachers and dancers made it so much easier each time she stepped inside. I consider us still being new to the studio but I am impressed so far and can’t wait to find out what the future brings. When people ask me, «how is Elite?» I say «it’s truly great», but you would need to see it for yourself to believe it, because it’s not something one can explain. Change is good sometimes. I highly recommend Elite Academy of Dance as the best studio around!
