About Us

Discover Elite Dance Academy...

Hello, I'm Devon, along with my husband George, and together,

we are the owners and directors of Elite Dance Academy.

It brings us great joy to welcome you warmly into our dance family!

Our journey began in 2012 when we opened the studio for our

daughter Marissa, driven by her profound love and passion for dance.

With her inspiration at heart, we envisioned a dance program designed to

inspire students of all abilities, nurturing self-confidence, coordination,

and individuality. Our goal was to create an environment that both

parents and students would eagerly embrace and participate in.

Back when we started 12 years ago we had 5 teachers and under

100 students we now have a thriving community with...
