With Gratitude,

Miss Brittany, Miss Jillian & The Elite Danceworks Team!

Get Ready for Parent Viewing Week! 🎉


We’re thrilled to welcome one special guest per dancer to join us for Parent Viewing Week! This is your chance to step into the studio, watch your dancer shine, and see the incredible progress they’ve been making. For Primary Dance, Tumble Tots, and our 5–7-year-old classes, it’s not just about watching – you’ll be invited to jump in and join the fun! Get ready to make memories with your little dancer as you groove, tumble, and twirl together.


Please note: To ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, we can only accommodate one parent or observer per dancer. With most of our classes at capacity, additional family members, including siblings, won’t be able to join this time. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation, helping us create a safe and exciting experience for all. We can’t wait to see you there!


It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate with all of you! As we prepare for our 8th Annual Holiday Gala, the excitement is building, the costumes are getting ready, and our dancers are learning their amazing performances. 🎄✨


From dazzling costumes to show-stopping routines, this season is all about sharing the joy of dance with our incredible community. We can’t wait to see you in the audience, cheering on your favorite dancers as they light up the stage! 🌟

Requirements:

Recreational dancers will participate in one show, ensuring that we can accommodate enough tickets for families to watch their dancer(s). If your dancer is enrolled in multiple classes, there is a chance they may perform in both shows. While we have made every effort to prevent this, it can sometimes occur. Organizing the show lineup requires considerable time and effort, and we greatly appreciate your understanding and support.
