Elevé Arts Academy

"My daughter is six years old and last year had a dance teacher who was very critical of her. Eleve Art Academy has been such a great experience for my daughter. Jenica is extremely patient and positive. She creates a fun learning environment. My daughter has made really good progress in her dancing. At this age we are trying different activities to discover our daughter talents. Is she going to be dancing in ten years, I don't know but I do know that she will have a great experience."

"Jeneca was my daughter's dance teacher for a few years. Along with being kind and patient, she has a presence about her. This presence has a way of motivating young dancers. I remember my daughter always wanting to do her best when Jeneca was in the room. Jeneca's grace and compassion for dance, teaching, and children are an inspiration. We truly missed her when she moved away from Minnesota. My daughter and I were so excited to hear she was opening up her own studio. If we ever move, sign us up! From my daughter Morgan Stiefel: I was lucky to have Jeneca as one of my dance teachers. I am now an assistant dance teacher. Jeneca has played a role in inspiring me to teach others to dance. She was always so excited to work with you and created a very positive environment. I will never forget how she would light up the room when she walked into it. Any dancer would be blessed to have Jeneca as their teacher."

"Jeneca is the most kind, positive person you will ever meet! My kids absolutely love her! She is so attentive and kind to kids in general and she also helps them to be their best self. If you want your kids to have a teacher who will help them build self confidence, Jeneca is your teacher! We love Jeneca and trust her with our kids full heartedly!"

"Jeneca is the best. She is very good at keeping the kids engaged and excited to learn. She is patient and kind and creates a fun/uplifting environment. I would recommend her studio to anyone looking for a fun dance class for their kids!"

"Miss Jeneca is a mentor that I hold very dear in my heart. When I was her dance student, she was consistent in leading with patience, grace, love, and joy. Jeneca not only taught me about technique, but she also modeled the true meaning of artistry. Jeneca is an artist who is passionately engaged in her craft, and generously invites her students into this experience. There are few instances in which I can credit an instructor with the specific way in which they have molded me as a dancer: my time spent as Jeneca's student is one of those. Lessons in vocabulary, compassion, appreciation of various art forms, generosity, performance value, and humility can be traced back to this wonderful teacher and woman. Jeneca is one of the great mentors in my life who has left their mark on me. I am proud to be a student, and now professional dancer, who is a part of Jeneca's legacy."
