The Elite Company is DE’s performance and competition team for dancers who are looking for more training and performance opportunities throughout the year. Dancers take classes in ballet, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, tap, conditioning, and technique, along with weekly rehearsals for group routines. Classes and rehearsals take place several days per week, with the exact schedule varying by age and placement level.

Once auditions are complete and dancers are placed into their groups, families will receive a detailed weekly schedule outlining all required classes, rehearsals, performances, and important dates for the season. Elite tuition varies per level and includes all required classes and rehearsals. There are also additional expenses throughout the year such as costumes, competitions/conventions, uniforms and show fees. Families receive a full calendar of events and a payment schedule at the beginning of the season.

The team performs in our Holiday Show, Night of Lights performances, Solo Showcase, community events, annual recital, and attends competitions and conventions where dancers train with industry professionals and perform their routines. It is a year-long commitment, and it's an incredible experience that helps dancers grow technically, artistically and personally while becoming part of a supportive dance family. Join us!
