Are All Dance Studios the Same?
If most dance studios seem to have qualified, friendly teachers and a big show at the end of the year, aren’t they all pretty much the same? There are six reasons why more families are choosing Dance Elite as the premier choice for dance instruction in Placer County.
1.Wide range of dance programs and levels
Some studios cater only to the super serious dancers who train twenty plus hours per week, while others put most of their energy into the young children’s programs. At Dance Elite, we believe that we offer something for every dancer at every age; from the five year old who is new to dance and wants to take just one ballet/tap combo class a week, to the older more advanced dancer who competes with a group and as a soloist at the national level. We even have beginning classes for adults and high school students, Pre-Professional classes and teams for dancers 18 and older, and technique only and open classes where students can focus on improving dance technique without having to commit to a traditional dance class or team. At Dance Elite our primary focus is dance and dance related programs. Some of our competitors claim to offer one stop shopping for their clients needs by offering lots of various disjointed programs at one location (ie- Karate, dance, gymnastics, fitness, etc., etc.) We believe that that the dancer is not properly nurtured and trained in such a setting that is not solely committed to dance. By honing in on and offering primarily dance you can rest assured that you and/or your child will be receiving top notch instruction from the best instructors in the dance industry.
2.Our state-of-the-art facilities
In 2006 we expanded into our 4800 square foot studio in Rocklin, which is one of the most well-equipped dance facilities in northern California. Our studio consists of three large teaching rooms with maple floors that have been installed over resilient padding to reduce shock and injury. Our lobby is spacious and welcoming, and our rooms have been built with large one-way viewing windows for parents to watch without being distracting to the dancers. We are happy that our facility offers parents an opportunity to stay and not only see what is going on in their child’s class, but to get to know our staff on a personal level as well.
3.On site customer service
In many studios the teacher or studio owner conducts most of the classes and does the administration. By trying to do two jobs at once, the class may suffer as the teacher has to use class time for customer service issues, or the studio may have no customer service available if the teacher is in class. To have a good experience it is important to choose a studio that can assist you with details like costumes or schedules, even if a teacher is occupied in a class. Our studio has office staff on hand during most regular class times so you can get immediate assistance.
4.Winter and Spring Showcase Opportunities
Many studios offer only one or sometimes no performance opportunities to their dancers. At Dance Elite we believe that learning technical skills are as important as learning performance skills, so we offer an optional, low pressure Winter and Spring Showcase performance for all of our dancers (Tiny Tots and above) in a real auditorium with professional lighting and sound. We feel that it is important for the dancers to know the sense of accomplishment and pride that come from performing in front of a crowd on stage. We choose only the highest quality costumes for our dancers that parents get to purchase and keep (as opposed to renting) as a treasured memento for years to come.
5.We keep you well informed
There are so many details concerning everything from class schedules, to costumes, to showcase information. Keeping dancers and parents informed is critical to staying organized. Of course, providing quality dance instruction is our top priority, and keeping you informed is our second. When you register you will receive an information packet that details what is to be expected for the entire dance season. We also have regular newsletters, memos, and voice broadcast messages to keep you informed of what is happening at the studio. Our website is also updated frequently with newsletters, class schedules, event schedules, and general information, so plan to visit us at www.danceeliteallstars.com often. You can also stay connected with us through Facebook, become a fan of Dance Elite for even more regular information about what is going on at our studio!
6. Our Continued Growth
At Dance Elite we are blessed to have wonderful clients who continually spread the word about our great dance programs. Since we opened our new facility in 2006 we have experienced tremendous growth. In fact, Dance Elite is one of the fastest growing dance studios in the entire United States! This is a testament to our tremendously talented teaching staff, office staff, and overall direction of our studio. We are constantly thinking of new ways to make Dance Elite and the programs that we offer better. The many families who have been with us throughout the years will be the first to say that we are committed to making each new dance season better than the last.
We hope that you will join us and choose Dance Elite as your studio of choice!
