“We have to give a special mention to our dance parents and their families for their commitment and dedication and also getting the dancers to and from training, making sure everything from their home training to their outfits was perfect,” commented the teachers.
“Between dancers and their parents we really are blessed with the best.”
Elite Dance Academy is not only a dance school, they’re a dance family. A lot of their dancers compete against each other and the love and support they show each other on and off the dancefloor is what elite dance academy is all about.
“Our youngest dancer is four to our eldest at 23 the love and respect they have for each other and other dance schools is so inspiring, our motto at a dance competition is to meet at least one new friend from another dance school, this is what the hiphop community is all about it’s a culture and art movement and it’s our jobs as dance teachers to make sure our dancers get the best out of it.”
The academy won medals in the following categories: Crews, solo’s, doubles, and trios.
