the element performing arts center

The Element Dance Center is San Diego's premiere studio for children's dance training. Conveniently located in Las Mesa, The Element is centrally located to service dancers throughout San Diego County as well as surrounding counties. We offer classes in a variety of dance styles including: Jazz, Broadway, Tap, Rhythm Tap, Ballet, Pointe, Modern, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Tumbling, Pilates and Combination classes for Tiny Tots.

The Element provides a program in which every dancer is given the opportunity to develop strong technical skills and define their style in a professional, friendly and fun atmosphere. The speed of development is based on quantity of hours practiced each week, which is decided by the parents and students. We provide a program that fits the lifestyle of dancers who chooses to dance 15 or more hours per week, to those who choose to dance only a few hours per week. We offer three programs to fit the needs and preferences of each individual dancer.

The Technique Program provides ongoing technical training without performances.
The Recreational/Performance Program prepares the dancers for individual and group routines to be performed in a recital, plus one additional show.
The Competition Company performs at 4-5 regional competitions where judges score on their performance. Regional competitions are held in San Diego and the LA area and each July they perform at a national competition held in Las Vegas.
