My daughter started dancing here in October 2017. The front desk is extremely helpful and courteous. They went above and beyond to get my daughter in the class with her friends which I was really appreciative of and totally did not expect. My daughter takes mini hip hop with Mercedes Royce and loves it. She is learning to move freely and put moves together on her own as well as in a routine. The entire business as a whole is completely family friendly- always allowing you to view your child’s class or go in and record or spectate the routine- which I love!This was our first winter showcase experience... we were blown away! The level of expertise from a choreography standpoint was tremendous and the costumes were gorgeous! It truly was like going to see a small production!We are so thrilled with our experience, we have now added our daughter into ms. Vanessa’s rap class. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, choreography, business as a whole! We are already looking into adding jazz into the schedule for next season!
Best dance studio we have ever been to! Positive friendly owner, even right before performances where most directors are tense. Technique is great, artistry is great. The choice of music is something the kids seem to enjoy compared to other studios. Their hip hop is the best I have seen, same with tap and jazz. Their ballet teacher is well loved and really good. Costumes are ridiculously awesome! If there was anything I wish were better, it would be trying to get through to the owner, however, she does have a liaison to talk to, and it is a really big studio with lots of students. It can be costly to attend a studio like this if your child wants to be really involved, but the level of Instruction is superb and well worth it in comparison to other studios. Customer service is really good at the front desk too. Honestly, we have been to other studios, and I always think this owner is spot on with her reasons for doing the things the way she does them. And the kids are really nice and welcoming.
One of the best dance studios Ive ever been to! Great customer service! The teachers are so involved and everyone goes above and beyond to make everyone happy. This studio has so many great classes and has so many of them! There is no way you wont be able to find a class that best fits you! They have so many options. They have such a great atmosphere and are super informative. Dance elite is is just that...ELITE!
I came to Dance Elite hoping I would finally find a place where kids like me were just learning to dance even at 13, and I found a class with people my age but at the right level. For two years I struggled with finding classes, because most girls at my age are already pro dancers. However, here, Im able to dance with girls my age at a beginner level. I love to dance, however its obviously not what I want to do for my career, I major more in acting and singing, but I wanted a good dance foundation as well for my dream of being on Broadway. Whether you want to professionally dance or just do it as a side activity like me, this is your place. The teachers are extremely talented and the staff is friendly and patient. I love the fact that getting a trial class and doing a makeup class are so easy, and everyone is very accepting of new people, unlike a few places Ive tried. I love being apart of the family now, and although everyone is very close, they are still able to welcome any type of person, whether just beginning, or professional level. Thank you, DEA, for the wonderful experience so far!
What a great experience! My 8 year old daughter was intimidated about trying dance for the first time but the instructors and front staff quickly set us at ease. My daughter is quickly catching on to the dances. She loves it! She is way more confident now and really looks forward to going to class every week. The instructors really care for the students and are very talented. The owner is very welcoming and talented as well. The kids love her. I highly recommend this studio for all ages and all levels of dance. This is a large studio. DEA is this big and this good for a reason.
My 3 year old daughter started in the Tiny Tots class in August 2015. Miss Danielle is her teacher and is so patient and loving with her and the other kids in the class, as well as being a very talented dancer herself. The studio is incredibly informative with emails and phone calls about any upcoming events and guidance for us rookie dance parents! The front desk and every employee we have talked to is helpful and passionate about dance and spreading their knowledge on to their students. We are so excited to have found such a loving, compassionate, talented studio!
My daughter joined Dance Elite at age 5 after a Starstruck show at her elementary school with Ms. Carrie. She was interested in mini hip hop. She had so much fun in Derek’s class! She has continued to grow and love to dance . Now almost 7 years later she is in an open hip hop class with Derek as well as another hip hop class with Ryan. She absolutely loves her dance instructors. All staff are friendly, knowledgeable, respectful and this studio is amazing, more like a family. A home away from home if you will. We are so happy to be a part of such inspiration. This studio allows every dancer no matter the style, age or level to succeed and be proud of themselves. The encouragement and praise they receive is unbelievable. My daughter will continue to dance and enjoy every minute of it! I absolutely recommend Dance Elite Allstars!
Dance Elite All Stars is an amazing dance studio. I have been dancing here since I was three years old ( I am writing this eleven years later ) and I am so happy that I have had the opportunity to grow up in such a welcoming dance environment! The instructors are beyond amazing and they have shaped me into the dancer that I am today. Yes, at times they will be hard on you, but its only because they want you to reach your highest potential. The front desk staff is also amazing and are so helpful. They have classes for all ages and your dancer will receive the best teaching possible. This is a great studio and you should really check it out!
My 12-year old daughter has been dancing here for 3 years. She absolutely LOVES the opportunities Dance Elite offers her. She started off being super shy and scared to meet new people. Her confidence has been lifted immensely since then! She is now doing 5 teams and has made a home out of the studio. If I would let her, she would live here! LOL Im so grateful for everything that the instructors and the front desk has done for my daughter and I. I love the challenge that the teammates and instructors give my daughter. I HIGHLY recommend this studio. GO DEA!
Dance Elite is one of the best studios in the Northern California area. Not only do they have great dancers and offer all different kinds of styles, but their Staff is amazing! You can tell the teachers love what they are doing! I would recommend this studio to anyone who asks!
Love DEA! My daughter has been going since she was 2 1/2-3 and we really enjoy it! The staff is great, studio is clean & we love the dance shows every 6 months. She is enjoying tap now & can’t wait to try jazz!
Our daughter is still somewhat new to Dance Elite but we are blown away at what she has learned in such a short time. The Winter Showcase was amazing! Instructors and Staff are awesome! Our daughter keeps asking for more classes I think she would come everyday of the week if she could
My daughter has been dancing here since she was 2.5 and will soon be 7! We love love love it. My son also has taken many classes, and will be starting back up soon. I definitely recommend this studio, great for all ages.
My granddaughters go to Dance Elite...the staff is wonderful! They work with the kids to help them understand the steps. I have been to several recitals and they are all so much fun!
Dance Elite is my 10 year old daughters happy place! She has loved every class and every teacher shes ever had these past 5 years. We would never go anywhere else.
I have really enjoyed working with everyone I have met here so far!
We absolutely love Dance Elite. Have a peewee and tiny tot who think Ms. Sarah is amazing. I couldnt imagine have a better team behind my daughters as they work to leave the fundamentals.
Normally, I do not do reviews but I felt compelled to write one for this studio and my experience there. First of all, the dance instructors are wonderful and they seem to truly care for their students. My negativity is related to the higher than normal level of drama that goes on at this place with the owner, front desk staff and some of the parents. Its not quite like the TV show Dance Moms but its got that vibe. Sometimes its funny to listen to other times its very uncomfortable. I also dislike that these discussion are sometimes in the presence of the kids. Im torn on this review as they do have good classes and instructors. Just my 2 cents.
My daughter loves the instructors at Danve Elite! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Couldn’t be happier with the studio.
My daughter unique in son Darrel said started the beginning of February they absolutely love it the staff is so helpful we are so informed And they offer a variety of classes they have good technique And we are so happy to be a part of dance elite all star
Amazing place. Fantastic teachers and staff. Best studio in this area! You need to come in, and check it out!
Dance Elite is one of the worst studios Ive ever experienced. The classes are extremely overpriced. Two of their strongest instructors, Jeni and Amber, have left, as well. Therefore, the difficulty of the dances has gone south. The front desk staff is beyond rude and do not know good customer service. Ive had very negative experience with the director of the studio. She has been outrageously rude to my daughter and I. Overall it has been an awful experience.
This dance studio has good instructors but the owner Faith and front desk are unprofessional. Lots of drama and politics which I was not expecting. Taking my kids somewhere else where dance is and should be the focus.
My daughter has been taking classes every semester at Dance Elite for almost 7 years. Our overall experience has been a good one! We started with just one ballet class per week (when she had just turned 2) and over the years as she has continued to learn and grow as a dancer, and has added jazz, tap and hip hop classes along the way. She is currently on four company teams and even though it is a huge commitment for our family (time and money), we are happy to see our daughter thrive in this environment. She is focused, her time management skills are incredible, she is an excellent student at school and I attribute much of that to her dance class experiences. She has learned respect, discipline, hard work and team spirit from a variety of teachers that are genuinely dedicated to their students. No dance studio is perfect, but I personally have had nothing but good experiences with the front desk staff. The studio has grown considerably and with that growth, there are growing pains, just like any other business. On the rare occasion I have had a concern, I have gone through the proper channels at the appropriate time and have been treated with respect and professionalism.I asked my daughter how she feels about the studio, since ultimately, this is her experience. This is what she wrote:Dance Elite Allstars is an awesome place! The teachers are awesome and they teach you fun ways to dance. They help you to be a better dancer. Ive been dancing there since I was two and now I am nine. One of my favorite teachers is Loco. He teaches hip hop and makes it super fun! Miss Jeni & Miss Beth are awesome at helping me with Jazz. Miss Anne is the best ballet teacher. Miss Carrie is always great with jazz production and tap! Miss Mercedes and Mr. Derek are great hip hop dancers and teachers. I am dancing 10 hours a week and I am always having fun!! I love all of my friends at dance! Dance Elite is the BEST!!!!!
Lots of dance class options, Theres always a level they can continue to move up and improve their dancing. Amazing teachers and kind staff.
We had a terrible experience at DE too. Miss Dawn at the front is beyond rude and told my daughter, You cant be here, right before her class when she was putting on her shoes. I was standing right there. My daughter burst into tears thinking she wasnt welcome.They also are very money hungry. Miss Dawn is in charge of the money too. Be careful before you sign anything because they absolutely wont waiver to keep a customer happy even if its only for a small amount of money.We had many other incidents over the past two years and we are finally ALL DONE.
Where they do there final performance is horrible. And they wont let you film. You have to buy a CD for 35 dollars. Worst experience.
It was really good .
AMAZING TEACHERS!!!!
