They would give feed back and my daughters would go home and work on it and come back to dance class wanting to show that they have improved. One of my daughters wants to keep advancing in dance and Mrs.Amy sees her drive and makes sure she tells me so that i can put her in the classes she needs to perfect her craft. They just had there first showcase and you can see the hard work dedication from the dancers and the amazing teachers they have on staff. If you are looking for a dance school that cares about your dancers this is place you want to be.

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!

Dancing with Davis literally changed my life, not only did he introduce me to dance, he gave me…read moreaccess to a community and language that I never anticipated when I went to my first class. He does it all, and I'm so lucky to be a student of his. If you want to connect with a loved one, with new friends, etc, this is the way. And Davis will have you looking and feeling fabulous, without feeling like you have to choose between dance and paying rent. Endlessly grateful. Hope everyone gets a chance to dance like that.

Incredible! Davis & Emily are SO skilled at teaching! They both have such an amazing background of…read moreALL kinds of dance.....but the way they teach is just beyond amazing. I just can't say enough about the whole experience! They also have a GREAT in- home studio (private and perfect place to learn with plenty of space!). They worked with both my husband and I, and within each 1-hour lesson gave us both what we needed to grow as dancers. I had a lot of dance background in Latin, WCS & Country; but over the years accumulated LOTS of bad habits. They helped me return to strong basics & improved my balance, ability to follow (connection) AND gave me advanced tips on ladies variations/shaping/footwork/styling. They spent time with my hubs (learning to dance for me (US!) bless his heart!). They helped him with learning WCS, plus other dances so we had variety depending on music. They kept things simple & SUPER EASY to understand for a beginning dancer. Including help with musical timing & understanding more than 'just the steps'. They focus on timing but also specifics of being a good LEADER - building his ability to (in the future) learn any dance and lead 'anyone' with amazing stability AND grace! Couples dancing is ALL about the connection & they really know how to communicate this for lead + follow. They do choreography as well, if you're wanting a wedding/special event dance.

Scooters is a nice skating rink and has been here forever. The employees are really great and…read morehelpful and they have very unique items that I have never saw at other skating rinks. Other than the skates and rollerblades, you can use scooters, sit down seat cars, and they have training walkers to help you skate. What I don't like about it is the bathroom situation. There are no mirrors and the sinks are outside of the bathroom. The bathrooms are also falling apart. They really need a remodel of the set up here including getting different tables than all booths. It is a great place for a birthday party, though or if you just want to go for a night out skating.

I love how they add seasonal activities so my kids aren't always doing the exact same thing every time they come. We live on the opposite side of town, but it's worth the trip.

They even have trivia night (Tuesdays). There were several wines by the glass to choose from, so I tried a Chardonnay, as I was told it didn't have a heavy oaky flavor. I really liked it!! And it was a nice pour for $7. Four of us enjoyed our wine before going out to dinner. This is definitely a place I'll return to. I may even join the wine club!
