The Dance Element's classes for preteens focus on
learning technique for ONE specific dance style.



(For example: Ballet, Lyrical, Hip Hop, or Tap)





Students learn defining elements of each dance style/ genre & gain a greater understanding of dance technique with every weekly class. 9, 10, 11, & 12 year-old girls & boys attending our Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acrobatics, Lyrical, & Contemporary Dance Classes move quickly through the "basics" & progress to learning more advanced steps & skills.

Teachers build on previous lessons, consistently challenging dancers with new movement & choreography or introducing concepts of dance theory that keep them excited about learning, motivated to practice, ​& inspired to achieve success with each new goal.



Instructors guide students with French terminology & age-appropriate dance exercises, training proficient artists with strong, healthy bodies.





The Dance Element's supportive atmosphere fosters camaraderie among students, rather than competition.


Children gain confidence at our dance studio because we teach them to believe in themselves & encourage each other. Dance Element students learn the importance of teamwork & the meaning of "community," while developing lifelong friendships.


Preteens discover the great value of having positive role models & becoming role models. ​After making this meaningful connection, our 9, 10, 11, & 12 year-old dancers take pride in assisting younger students & helping their peers learn, grow, & succeed.





The Dance Element's spectacular annual dance performances are unparalleled!



These uniquely themed theatrical productions highlight the individual growth of every student while providing invaluable training & incredible experiences they will remember all their lives.
