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!

I was honestly shocked at what we accomplished in that amount of time (neither of us have major dancing experience). Our first dance was one of my favorite parts of the wedding day and the lessons made for incredibly fun date nights. Angela was our teacher and she was fantastic to work with. Their multiple locations and online scheduling are also extremely convenient. The owner, Matt, goes above and beyond as well. I cannot recommend this company enough!!

Besides all their different dance skills in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, they are also the benefit of the discipline, respect, organization, responsibility and intelligence besides the physical emotional and mental toning and strength that comes from having dance in your life. They are so thrilled and will continue with dance throughout their lives, such a wonderful benefit. The sad part right now is that the building is going to be demolished by the owner, so the studio owner, Penny, is looking for a new location. We are all supporting her in the decision to find another studio and continue teaching, she is the epitome of dance teacher and owner, no one is better, and this is such a big step. So we are awaiting news of her new location, and our family, along with all the other families who attend Dance Centre, are NOT going to go to any other studio, we are awaiting the news on the new location. 36 years of teaching is a lot, but there are so many children out there that want to and need Ms Penny's tutelage to continue blossoming, and we all give her our support and encouragement to continue. We have all received so much in return for attending this studio, and we can't imagine our future without the Dance Centre. Thank you so much to Ms Penny and all the other teachers she employs.

The immersive experience into the evolution of Sun Studios & the birthplace of Rock n' Roll did not disappoint. Our group included 4 kids ages 6-11 & 10 adults ages 30's to late 70's. Everyone had a great time. I was the only one with prior knowledge of Sun & its legacy, but everyone learned something new. The actors/ musicians playing Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins & Johnny Cash were amazing (and a few were even understudies). The guy who played Sam Phillips was brilliant. Everything about it was well done & I highly recommend it. Theater is nice & right by River. This play was very limited seating(100 or less people). Parking garage is right next door (they beware the parking spots are very tight for SUVs!).

We all signed the waiver basically stating we won't sue if we're injured. The representative had us do a champagne toast for the bride-to-be before we began the class. Afterwards, the class began. We learned a sexy lap dance routine then a pole dance routine. It was extremely fun. Then they had the guest of honor do a special routine while we throw money at her. Now that was exciting!!!! The guest of honor also got a gift bag and we all got a free class card that must be used in 30 days. The party was definitively worth it! I would definitely love to do this again.

Planning a wedding during a global pandemic wasn't easy but Gopi was extremely flexible and scheduled multiple Zoom calls with us even though she was in Chicago and we were in Las Vegas. The distance wasn't the only issue to be addressed but we were putting on a Jewish/Hindu fusion wedding which, of course, required a fusion first dance. We provided Gopi with the two songs we wanted to dance to...one for a ballroom routine and one for a Bollywood routine. We were blown away by the choreography that she provided to us. Neither of us are expert dancers by any means so we were intimated to start with but Gopi made us feel comfortable and provided us with positive reinforcement all along the way. Our dance went perfect and we are still receiving compliments about it over a month after our wedding. We still can't watch the video without smiling. Easily, one of the highlights of our wedding during what was a very difficult process to make it all happen. Thank you so much to Gopi and Mehar Dance! If you need choreography or a dance lesson, they are who you should be going to.

We worked with Meg on learning the first dance for our wedding, and the end result was a dance so…read morespectacular that our guests are still raving about it. We have been asked multiple times how we learned such a complex showstopper dance. I had never really done any sort of dancing before, and we had selected a waltz. Instantly, we were impressed at how effective of a teacher Meg was, making complex movements seem easy. More importantly, she put me at complete ease. Our weekly dance practices ended up being the highlight of our week. She broke down everything into basics and helped create and teach the choreography in chunks. As the weeks progressed, we decided to add more length to the song since we were enjoying it so much. She worked on creating the mix and crafted the additional choreography as well. We then decided to practice with our actual wedding clothes on as well, and we learned limitations two weeks before the wedding date. Meg helped us find professional dance shoes and adapted the choreography to work around those limitations, completely making the song feel comfortable even in the limited movement of the clothing. Throughout these lessons, Meg was extremely flexible in scheduling and often going out of the way to work around our travel. She even helped us book a time slot when the entire studio was empty so that we could practice our dance using the whole space in private. Her and the rest of the instructors were warm, welcoming, and caring. We honestly had such a great time that we are thinking about going back to learn other dances as well.

And it is all thanks to My Dance Hub. The instructors here are all first rate, and many of them have been dancing for decades. They take their time to help one develop one's skills in a variety of different dances. In the short time I have been there, I learned to dance the Waltz, Tango, Cha-Cha, and Rumba, to name just a few dances. Throughout the year, they hold dance showcases where people demonstrate what they learned in choreographed routines. These are especially fun as a participant and to watch as a spectator too. In these ways, the instructors make it even more fun to learn dancing. Whether you are a complete beginner like I was, or even if you have been dancing for some time, My Dance Hub offers an educational and fun setting to practice your dancing.
