For over 24 years, San Elijo Dance & Music Academy has mentored kids from ages two to teen. The academy describes itself as a premier dance studio in North County San Diego with world class performances and a fun family atmosphere, serving students from Carlsbad, San Marcos, and North County neighborhoods. Its North County San Diego dance and music studios are equipped with industry leading sprung dance floors that are used by the world’s top pre-professional ballet schools, and free trial classes are available.
The academy states that its diverse and experienced faculty loves what they do at the Carlsbad dance studio. Its mission pledges to serve children and their families with passion, devotion, and integrity; to seek excellence through patient mentoring and leading by example; to be sensitive to each child’s needs; to create a fun and light atmosphere while challenging them; to be kind, courteous, and responsive; and to strive to bring out the best of who students are each day.
Families are invited to join students from Carlsbad, San Marcos, and surrounding San Diego communities with a free trial. One parent, Monica Garcia, notes that the studio is well managed, offers a wide range of classes, and that her three children gained self confidence in their capabilities and the proper skills to perform at their recital. Former student Aly Sutherland describes the teachers as dedicated to each student and bringing personal dance experience and variety to each class, and recommends the studio to dancers looking for a family of talented and inspiring dancers and teachers. Parent Rick Saunders shares that his daughter has been dancing with the studio for years, highlights the teachers and opportunities to dance with professionals, and notes the care the owners and faculty put into knowing each family.
