    Rize All: Where quiet kids dance!…read more We came in with our nervous, quiet kid who surprised us when he decided to join a hip hop class. Ms. Mona and Julia welcomed him with positivity and kindness, helping him feel comfortable in minutes. As soon as class started, he was grooving! As performance day arrived I feared he would lose confidence but he jumped on stage with a HUGE smile and pride! Rize All isn't just about dance--it's about confidence and pure joy. P.S. If you're on the fence--do it. What have you got to lose?

    Our youngest daughter is four and absolutely loves to dance. She went with a friend to an…read moreintroductory class at another studio and loved it. Parking is typically pretty easy to find in the large shopping center they're in. We signed her up for their once a week introduction to dance class. She loved her classmates and instructor and wanted to do their recital in June. The class provided a lot of valuable life lessons. She learned and had several things reiterated: confidence, human kindness, paying attention, respect, responsibility, timeliness, and trying your hardest. Their waiting room is exceptionally small, and they prefer you drop off and pick up your child after class. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for her due to some separation anxiety issues, but we'll continue working on it. Starbucks and Walgreens are both within walking distance for those who are able to drop off their child or children. They sell a variety of ballet and dance apparel and shoes. The recital costumes were reasonably priced and absolutely gorgeous. Tickets were also reasonably priced, and the show was well planned and executed. Our daughter's dance partner bailed on her before the second show, and her instructor Mona helped instill the confidence in her to perform a solo rendition that she did a fantastic job with. She's excited to begin class again in August after soccer is over and to perform again in December's recital.

    My daughter was a gymnast for seven years and competed for two of those years. Unfortunately, the…read morepressure eventually became too much for her, and she decided to step away from gymnastics and give dance a try at Elite Studio of Dance. From the very first day, she has never looked back! Since starting dance, I have watched her confidence grow tremendously. She looks forward to every practice and comes home excited to tell me all about what she learned and who she spent time with. She was welcomed with open arms by the other dancers and has made so many wonderful friends. One of the things I really appreciate about Elite Studio of Dance is the sense of community they create. I love that they take the time to do roll call at the beginning of class, giving the children an opportunity to introduce themselves, learn each other's names, and connect with one another. It may seem like something small, but I believe those little things make a big difference in helping children feel comfortable and included. The instructors and staff have also been incredible. Every interaction I've had with them has been professional, kind, and informative. When my daughter recently joined the competition team, I had a few questions about my payment plan. The staff responded to my email quickly and took the time to answer all of my questions. That level of communication and support is something I truly appreciate as a parent. I also love how the competition program is structured. The competition dancers practice alongside children who participate simply because they love dance and want to take classes recreationally. I think that creates inclusion rather than division. It allows the kids to learn from one another, build friendships, and feel like everyone is part of the same community. There was even a time when I accidentally mixed up my days and dropped my daughter off too early for practice. One of the instructors kindly allowed her to stay and participate in a class until her scheduled class began, even though she wasn't enrolled in that particular class. That small act of kindness meant so much to me because, otherwise, I would have had to leave work to pick her up. As a parent, one of the most important things to me is knowing that when I drop my child off, she is safe, welcomed, and surrounded by people who genuinely care about her. Those are just two of the many experiences that have made Elite Studio of Dance feel like so much more than a dance studio. It truly feels like a community. I'm so grateful we found this place. Watching my daughter rediscover her confidence, make friends, and genuinely love going to practice has been such a beautiful experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Elite Studio of Dance to any parent looking for a positive, welcoming, and supportive environment for their child.

    We've taken classes here with several instructors and subs who were so kind and lovely to the kids…read more I really want to like this school. The dancers are amazing and we are always awed by their competition team performances (my friend's kids compete here) but we were taken aback by a recent encounter that I'm still pondering about to feel. I want to be honest and candid in my feedback as I hope this can be used to improve the school. As parents, we always followed the rules and would drop off esp for ballet class since the owner was strict on this policy (after first class) to not be a distraction to the kids. We've taken intro to dance, ballet 1, and this year was hoping due to schedule reasons enroll in ballet 1/2. We have been doing 2 recitals (which are expensive by the way and cost $100 per dress plus tickets you have to buy PER attendee (yes even toddler). The ballet class name this year was literally ballet 1/2 on the calendar initially and not ballet 2. To accommodate both daughters, I asked if we can enroll given we took ballet 1 the year before. We were told by the owner through text when we asked to change classes that this was ok and she was happy to welcome our daughter. However, we later found out after the second class (it was the first class with the owner as the very first class was with one of her substitutes whom she later told me was not up to standard with that class), that she decided to make it only a ballet 2 class. Therefore after telling my daughter and her friend they can enroll and even encouraging us to, she texted us we couldn't bc the "maturity level and skill level gap was too big." In retrospect, I wish she could've had a discussion with us parents after class face to face instead of delivering by text. I even told her this in response to her texts but to be fully transparent, the teacher never usually in the past communicate to us parents in person and only over text or via mass announcement on Band. In retrospect, I wish she never would've let my daughter in the class bc she said my daughter needed to go back to ballet 1 (which felt like a demotion just after 1 class in ballet 1/2). Yes, this did affect her self-confidence and in her desire to learn bc now my daughter says she loves to dance but doesn't know if dance CLASS is right for her. This is ironic since I was told by the owner/teacher "for her confidence, I want her to be in ballet 1 for a while before she's ready." It was very disheartening how she told other parents the same and one of which also enrolled in the ballet 1/2. My daughter cannot be with her friend anymore in class and my younger daughter (we come there bc of the convenient time) also had to dis-enroll bc of this change and it just left us feeling unsupported, which is disappointing because I always recommended their dance school to other parents and parent groups on social media and to several of my friends who enrolled. One of my friends was excited her daughter would be in same class as mine but this was not to be. All around just unfortunate with the level of communication and giving my daughter hope but then taking that away. She did offer 1 additional class for ballet 1 at the end of the month but thinking we may need some time away to think on this because my daughter still loves ballet and this school is conveniently located but we need some time to reconcile how we feel still about this encounter. I'm conflicted as my daughter loves dance but this recent incidence caused us to question if and when we will return.

    Years back I used to live in Elk Grove when it was a sleepy town. There were few restaurants and…read morehardly any shopping or fast food joints. The only brewery was in old Elk Grove and they were fun to go to on their trivia nights. They would have you dig though your bags and pull out different items for their funny money. One of the items I recall them asking for was a $2 bill, another item was a rotary phone, show your ink was a fun one, they asked for the craziest things and we had a blast. Sadly they closed due to the competition of all the up and rising places. So much has changed in Elk Grove. It's really boomed. The main place to shop use to be Walmart, now they have Kohl's, Macys, and other departments stores. One Staple in Elk Grove is the Regional Park. We were there today for a festival. They have many festival though out the year that bring in people from all over. This was one of those types of festivals. I don't know the wing span of the crowd they got, but I know it was pretty big. Today's festival was the Vietnamese New Year Celebration that also incorporated Mardi Gras in. What a fun time we had. We mainly came from up north to see the Lion Dancers and they were better then expected. The drive was around 30 minutes to get there and we left the house an hour early to ensure we could find parking and a seat at the stage. We arrived as the google maps said in 30 minutes. We easily found parking at the first baseball field and walked though the park along the pond. We lucked out a the crowed hadn't fully arrived yet and there were still seats available. Elk Grove has really done a great job with their regional park and is set up to welcome a crowd. They have all the outdoor sports you'd want: multiple baseball fields, soccer fields, beach volleyball courts. I didn't see any bocce ball or horse shoe areas, but we may not have looked hard enough. The park is huge and we didn't explore it all. I believe they have a jungle gym at the other end of the park. We did see 2 ponds with water features that were running. Elk Grove has really flourished. Unlike my town they have both a Trader Joe's and a Costco. If you are looking for a family friendly city to live in consider Elk Grove.

I recommend starting your self-guided walk at Old Town Plaza (9615 Railroad St, Elk Grove, CA 95624). The whole area is very walkable, and it turns into a fun little scavenger hunt as you look for each mural. Along the route you'll find: * "Everyday Research 2026" by Efren Rebugio Jr. at Happy Garden Chinese Cuisine (9081 Elk Grove Blvd). This colorful mural is packed with fun details: take your time because you'll probably notice something new every time you look at it. * "TURMOIL" by Mister Toledo (9081 Elk Grove Blvd). The bold colors and expressive style really make this one stand out from the rest. * "To Be Loved Is Permanent" by Franceska Gámez at Old Town Plaza. A beautiful, heartwarming mural with a meaningful message. It was one of my favorites. * "Resilience in Glass" by Camer1sf and PawnPaint at Prost Beer Hall (9085 Elk Grove Blvd). The artwork has a dramatic, almost fantasy-like feel and looks especially striking from across the street. * The colorful "EG" mural by Cameron Moberg and Pawn at Custom Fireside (9097 Elk Grove Blvd). It's bright, cheerful, and makes a great photo backdrop. * An abstract mural by Ricky Watts on the east wall of the Elk Grove Library (8900 Elk Grove Blvd). The vibrant colors add a lot of energy to the library building and are worth the short walk.
