Dancer of the Month-
This month we shine the SPOTLIGHT on Jada Johnson!
 Age: 8
School/Grade: Jacob Wismer Elementary/Second Grade
How many years have you been dancing at Elite? 4 years
What is your favorite style of dance? Jazz
What is your favorite memory at Elite? Getting my ballet costume last year. I loved the red color!
Tell us about your family... I live with my mom, dad, and brother, Marcus. They are funny - especially my dad. We love to take trips together. Our favorite place to visit is Hawaii.
If you aren't dancing...what else do you like to do? I like to play soccer in the fall and spring, and I play basketball in the winter. I also love to read books and bake. Where do you see yourself in 20 years? Caring for animals as a vet. I also want to live on a farm and have a family of my own. I also dream of opening my own restaurant! Tell us more... Share one fun fact about yourself! I love nature and taking walks to collect flowers, sticks, and rocks.

Our annual tradition of "COSTUME WEEK" is just around the corner and I
know all our dancers will be so excited to return to classes after Spring Break. The energy and excitement at the studio is always at an all time high during this time!
Teachers will take a few minutes during each class to have their dancers try on their costumes to ensure proper fit, discuss tights/undergarment requirements and decide on placement for accessories. If everything fits, the dancers will be able to take their costumes home. We sure hope they will followed our directions and immediately hang up their costumes once they arrived at home! If you happen to miss class that week, you may pick up your costume from the front desk or from your teacher at the end of class time the following week.
** If there are any problems with costumes, please bring them to our attention as soon as possible so we can do our best to resolve the problem before picture day!

Recital Info-
This year our Studio recital theme is "Billboard's Greatest Hits" and our Ballet performance theme is "Kaleidoscope".
