We have been at Elite for almost four years now, and we love it. My kids get a strong foundation in technique in their dancing. The kids get to be in really amazing shows twice a year that are really special and impressive. The older kids and adults in the company are the kind of people I want my kids to grow up around; they are kind, inclusive, and wonderful role models. The teachers are sweet and wonderful. The studio is clean and comfortable. I could say so many good things. Finally, the adult company shows are fantastic. They are such an artistic combination of dance and acting. Their ability to tell a story is beautiful. I highly suggest both this studio and their shows. Thanks for everything Elite.

Elite is not merely a “dance studio” like many others. Elite is a family of extremely talented artists working together to elevate the minds and hearts of its students and the community as a whole. The level of instruction is top notch and the culture of the studio is one of immense positivity and support. As a mom of eleven, I have had several children (and even a spouse) train and perform with Elite. I can tell you with my whole heart that Elite is an investment in the total formation of your child. You will never regret your time spent with them!

Im a big fan of Elite Dance & Theatre. They provide classes in the usual dance such as ballet, tap, modern, etc but they have added silks, swing classes and dances, acting and many other special programs for the needs of the various performances. They teach to little ones up to adults. Its a friendly but professional atmosphere, and the students do and learn. Their shows are blackbox, with minimal props and stage backdrops, but its fun and relatively inexpensive to drop in and see a show. Full disclosure: my daughter has been involved as an instructor since the beginning, my other daughter works the box office, and I have three grandchildren who are in The Company. Check out the website, come n see a show. (This is William Burch, not Catherine)

Wonderful studio for children and adults! They perform several amazing theater productions each year. I really love their dance and acting programs that my daughters have participated in. I have always appreciated Elite’s high standards for technique and for their choices of dances and shows which really sets them apart from any other studio in the Albuquerque area!

My daughter has been studying at Elite Dance and Theatre for over 5 years and is now a junior company member. Elite is not just a dance studio, it is a community with a body positive culture of support and mentorship. My daughter is known and considered as an individual for both class placement and feedback. The other junior company members have become some of her closest friends and positive role models, which I value just as highly as learning the craft. The time and money spent here pales to the value of the instruction, confidence, and friendships she has gained.

My daughter has been dancing at Elite since she was 3 years old . The childrens program is top-notch - instructors are wonderful with the little ones. The Jr. Company was such great fun and training for her as she got older - more performance experience in both dance and acting. I grew up in a ballet studio where recitals were held - it is so refreshing to be a part of a studio where a show is held instead - a story unfolds with each class a different character and part of the story. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

My daughter has absolutely loved participating in the kids program at elite! She does it all: jazz, ballet, tap, swing, aerial, acting. Every instructor is knowledgable and talented and they are caring to boot! They see her as more than just a number but as a person they can invest in and help to grow in good character! I cannot recommend elite more highly!

Elite Dance & Theatre is a wonderful studio for students to learn a wide variety of dance including ballet, tap, jazz, swing, aerial (and acting) from a terrific staff of professional and experienced teachers. The environment is family friendly and supportive. Students get many chances to perform throughout the year in Elites active schedule.

Wonderful family friendly studio with awesome shows. Ive been to a couple shows already and I will continue to go to more. The performances are wonderful and very entertaining.

Dancing with elite has been a privilege! The studio atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are friendly and professional. The art of dance and theater is beautifully preserved in class, and then seamlessly transferred to the stage. Definitely a unique and talented studio in the Abq area.

I have learned so many different skills being a student and company member of elite Dance & Theatre! Professional of all aspects in dancing and theater are there to teach you the skills you want/need, whether its dancing, acting, singing, aerial, stage fighting, etc. An organized, safe, and respectful environment. They are family.

I have been doing swing dancing and some acting and dancing in the Elite company, and I have loved being a part of this company. I would highly recommend if you want to learn to dance, or do theatre. They have a lot of info on the Elite website, and more info on what kind of dancing and theatre they do, so go check them out!.

Elite is the most welcoming, comfortable community I have been involved in. I have been dancing and teaching there for the past 17 years. The family that has formed is irreplaceable.

My daughter has been at Elite about 6 years now. She just loves it. The staff and teachers are great. The shows are awesome. My daughter loves being part of junior company.

My daughter and I have been a part of elite since before she was born. Now at 15 years old, she has had such quality instruction that she is excelling in multiple areas of dance including ballet, jazz, tap, aerial silks, swing, and contemporary. She has also had many opportunities to improve her acting and singing. My son has recently started working with elite, as well, in acting, swing and tap. As a parent, I cannot say enough positive things about the atmosphere and the many life lessons my children have learned. It is a place where my kids choose to be above almost anywhere else. We are so thankful for the opportunities our family has been given and the love we have felt over the years. A huge thank you to the directors Paul and Cheri Costales!

My daughters have been dancing at elite for years. The studio is very family oriented and are always well organized for classes and shows. Friendly staff and great studio space!

The great variety of classes are open to all levels of ability. Staff and teachers are all excellent. Theatre performances are always great fun and excellent.

The best atmosphere I have been a part of dancing in the last 28 years has been at Elite. The emphasis on technique, artistry, and holistic support is wonderful.

Great dancers. Great performance. They could use a stand-up comic before there shows though.

A fantastic studio with a talented, professional, and caring staff. The training the students receive is excellent and all of the performances and programs are top-notch.

Great facility. Wonderful staff & students! Highly recommend!

Elite dance and theatre has it all. Excellent dance training in ballet, jazz, and tap, acting workshops and performance opportunities, friendly and hardworking staff and volunteers, and a safe family oriented environment.

A family friendly studio with great programs for all ages.

The studio, classes and instructors are all very good but I am disappointed with the showcases. You have to pay extra to be in the show and the tickets are $20 each to watch the show. The kids get about 3 minutes of stage time. Most of the show features the instructors and apprentices. And you are not allowed to take pictures or video and they do not give you a program so you get nothing to remember the experience.

Great environment! Fantastic shows, and super sweet staff! 10/10 would recommend!

Really nice space
