Elite Dance International Company

"Marina was key to making our wedding extra special. Oh my goodness. We worked with her for about 6 weeks before our wedding to do a choreographed first dance to a mashup of a few different styles of songs and she blew us away! She is so kind and so talented. My husband has never danced before and he picked up some professional moves instantly with her guidance. Our guests cannot stop talking about how incredible our dance was. It was definitely the highlight of the night. Even if you are just looking for some confidence with your slow dance, it is 1000% worth it to book a lesson with Marina. Best dance instructor I’ve ever worked with."

"Marina, Is the best! Not only did she help my husband and daughter with their father daughter dance a couple years ago. She did such a great job with them. My son and I hired her to help ups come up with a fun and entertaining dance routine for his wedding day. She was patient as we picked a complicated combo song and had never danced with a professional dancer before. I will forever treasure the time I spent in the studio with my son and the special dance. Marian also did an amazing job with my son and his wife too! The video below is of my son and his wife on their wedding day. Let me tell you everyone was impressed and made the day all the more special for them. I would highly recommend Marina you will enjoy working with her!"

"I highly recommend the Elite Dance Studio to anyone willing to learn how to dance! I have been coming to this studio for a year now and I learn so much within the duration of one lesson. These talented instructors have prepared me well enough to participate in Ballroom Dancing Competitions. Throughout the year, the studio hosts several showcases where the students can perform and show off their skills. There is also a great opportunity for social dancing, every Friday night, that includes a class to introduce different dances! This is also a fantastic way to meet new people and have a little fun! :)"

"Elite has become a second home since I joined the dance team 2 yrs ago. Marina is such a wonderful dancer, it is contagious, she will help you become the best dancer you can be. Her and James bring such a good energy at the studio, and the dance team members are now my friends, we have fun together inside and outside the studio. We also went on camping/rafting trips with students, we just connect on so many levels beyond the dance floor. I encourage anyone who is curious about dancing to stop by and give it a try, Elite is a welcoming place."

"Elite Dance is more than just a ballroom studio! It has become part of my family while living here in Charleston! I have been there for about 2 years now, and the staff are friendly and caring, and the Friday night socials are lots of fun!! James is an amazing dance instructor with lots of experience and fun to learn and perform with. He loves to take students to competition and choreograph the most amazing showcase routines! He is such a wealth of knowledge, and is passionate about teaching students. Marina has also done great things with her competition team and her yearly showcases! She truly loves teaching and sharing her experience with others. It is a great place for any beginner or even seasoned dancer in any and all styles of ballroom dancing. I began as a salsa dancer, progressed to country and swing prior to joining elite and now focus on latin ballroom! There is a little bit of something for everyone! Come check it out!"
