  I had an amazing experience at Elite International Dance! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and energized. Alex and Sue are absolutely incredible — not only talented and professional, but also kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The atmosphere is vibrant, supportive, and fun. Whether you're a beginner or experienced dancer, this is the place to be. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn, grow, and have a great time!

  Note: I booked a class with Class pass. Check the website to see if the class time has changed! Mine was at 7 but the reservation said 7:30, so I am glad I looked. I had a great class with Alina teaching the Arabic basics to belly dance. I used to belly dance professionally with a troupe 10 years ago and I still learned so much about muscle control and isolations. You can definitely take as a beginner or any level because of the in-depth teaching. It looked like other styles were taught at this studio as well, Latin, Ballroom, and Ballet to make a few. Definitely refer to the website for the most up to date class schedule. A drop in-class is $20, it was 2 class pass credits for me. The studio is at the corner end of a shopping plaza right when you turn into it. The mirror inside is facing the front and the side with the door and check in stand is facing the parking lot. You can see the number on the window to double check. There is plenty of parking.

  Billy Fajardo is an excellent teacher; however, his business partner, Alex, is not ideal in terms of customer service. Alex has a tendency to overpromise with lies and manipulation tactics, promising the sky and products that he cannot deliver. There are indeed excellent teachers at the business, but Alex's customer service is less than satisfactory. For instance, Alex invited me to join his dance team and instructed me to prepare to start, even going so far as to schedule preparations around my busy schedule. Unfortunately, this never came to fruition, with Alex citing excuses such as "I'm trying to herd the cats." This pattern repeated itself multiple times over the course of a year and a half. Eventually, Alex considered placing me on another team, asking me to attend practice. At this point, I had a gut feeling that something was amiss, so I attended and asked him to confirm, to which he responded, "uhhhh, I don't know yet." Alex is quick to ask for money but slow to deliver. He operates under the illusion of grandeur, believing that people should be there, dropping money at his feet instead of him earning their time and money. In reality, dancers and entertainers are nothing without customers buying their products and event tickets. I confronted Alex about his behavior, and he reacted angrily, entering my personal space and telling me to be quiet. This behavior was both unprofessional and inappropriate. It's unfortunate that Alex's behavior tarnishes the reputation of an otherwise excellent teacher like Billy Fajardo.
