History

Established in 1981.

Elite Dance Academy is an established Dance Studio located in the City of Orange for over 30 years. Formerly Christine’s Dance Studio, the studio was renamed Elite Dance Academy in 2008 after the retirement of former owner and purchase by Christine’s Dance studio teachers and sisters Lori Millsap and Lynn Potyondy. We have recently moved into our new state-​of-​the-​art facility just a few blocks from our original location where we have many new and modern conveniences.

As Elite Dance Academy we boast a highly trained staff and a conservative, family centered atmosphere. We offer dance training in many disciplines including: Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, Hip Hop and more. We start training at age 3 and continue through college age. We also provide competitive opportunities for dancers of all ages.

Our goal at Elite Dance Academy is to instill a love for dance in each student and help them to learn and grow as dancers and as young adults.
