I take adult tap and it is a blast and the class is enriched by having dancers of all skill levels.

Let's me start by saying that if you're not already signed up at The Dance Element - call Now to…read moresign up for yourself or your kids. Having been a student of dance for many years and as a patron and lover of dance, theatre and art, The Dance Element is head and shoulders above everything I've encountered short of Broadway in NY. Wilmington NC is lucky to have this gem. You can't imagine the care and thought that goes into every class, into the students well-being and into their showcase productions. The Dance Element owner is an extremely talented dancer in her own right with an amazing gift to help students learn to dance, have fun, master choreography and as a bonus build strong foundations to live confident lives. From a production/show point of view - I've had the pleasure of seeing productions from the audience's perspective and have been in awe of the beauty of how it all comes together. Recently, I've been able to see behind the scenes as the recent Christmas showcase "The Grinch" is coming to life. The set designs are spectacular, the artistry and creativity of the owner is nothing short of award winning. Her passion comes through every detail - she wants her students and their families to have the best experiences and she delivers on that promise. There's a tremendous amount of work that goes into developing a theme, creating the beautiful choreography, set designs that bring the story to life, lights, music and overall production but The Dance Element wouldn't do it any other way. This is not a cookie cutter dance studio. Hands down the best studio I've ever come across!

Which isn't a problem as personally I prefer a more relaxed environment. Especially for an intro class. However, I didn't particularly respect being told I didn't qualify for the new client special, that was definitely a choice on their part. But I'm writing this review more so because upon leaving-- there was a safety concern in the parking lot... make sure you carry whatever defense tools you prefer when attending this studio. This isn't any fault of their own, so I wouldn't hold it against them, as they do take safety measures of covered windows and locked doors during sessions. But I thought it important to mention. Overall I think they are a nice addition to the dance community here in town :) best wishes for continued success.
