From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed -- whether you come alone or with a partner, it truly feels like joining a dance family. The studio itself is warm, vibrant, and incredibly supportive. As a former dancer, I've experienced some stressful environments in the past. After not dancing for nine years, returning to movement at The Dance Lab has been so refreshing. The owner and instructors are encouraging, positive, and focused on making dance joyful again. The studio is welcoming for all ages, and there are also parties and fun events that make the experience even more special. The Dance Lab is a place where you can learn, grow, and genuinely enjoy dancing. If you are thinking about dancing for the first time or returning to dance, this is your sign!

WARNING: NOT LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY…read more My girlfriend and I came here for their beginners salsa class for a date night and had an unfortunate experience with the instructor, Carl. He gave us a hard time for wanting to dance together and called us out mid class saying "well usually it's men as leads and women as followers but hey, it's 2025, who am I to judge." It was uncomfortable and unnecessary to call us out when we just wanted to be treated like what we are...a normal couple on a date night. I reached out to the owner afterwards to see if they could amend the situation and sadly got no response. I wanted to make sure other queer couples didn't have the same experience as us. We will definitely not be returning and will be sure to let others know about our negative experience.

We have become a part of Elite's Academy of Dance family last year. My daughter loves to dance and…read morewe 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!

After some emails, there was a misunderstanding so I brought my 13 year old on the wrong week for a…read moretrial class. The owner seemed a little rude that week, but I thought maybe she was having a bad day. But that is not my frustration. We returned the second week for the trial class. The entry is very small and we were told to tell the desk we were there for a trial class. First, the owner was very condescending and responded, "Can you give me a moment?" In a very short tone and a fake smile. At that point I was unsure whether this is someone I wanted to deal with on a weekly basis. But the final straw was - we stepped aside and waited, and waited, and waited. She then goes into a class and starts teaching it! We remained ignored. So I asked another woman. In the meantime the class starts. We find out the trial class is with children 11 and under. My 13 year old was done. Had the owner not seemed so nasty at even ONE interaction, it may have changed our mind. But we have already spoken to two other places that had a VERY different approach. ~Dr.K

Before doing this review, I read through the majority of the previous reviews. And in my short time…read morethere, I could relate to many of them even though they'e several years old. On my second day there, I realized that this is not a professional staff from Hospital. I looked up online and it's a subcontractor my first gym after high school. Was the pump room in Geneva. That was a 24 hour club back in 1985. And been the norm pretty much ever since not being a 24 hour club cut down on staff, but it still makes it crowded during the times that it is open. The staff seems to be more tuned to, working at a big box store than it does a facility that could have a medical emergencies at any time. Based on the previous reviews, there doesn't seem to be communication of change. I've been a member on and off for several years, and the equipment has not been upgraded. And in some categories, there's just not enough or they don't have a modern version. But it is clean and you don't have to put up, with the strange way some people act now in gyms. So those two are benefits. I just hope that if I do have a medical emergency or somebody that I love it's close enough for the hospital. Because I have zero respect for their ability to act calmly and professionally to an emergency by my experience.
