About
Created from the original members of Elektrolytes Dance Crew, the winners of America’s Best Dance Crew season 7 on MTV, Elektro Dance Academy was created to help catapult the next generation of dancers into their dance careers! With top-tier loving and caring teachers, Elektro Dance Academy stands out from the rest. Teachers, Directors, and even the owners not only continue to work professionally creating pathways within the professional dance industry, but they also train right alongside the members of Elektro Dance Academy. Elektro Dance Academy works with professional choreographers from LA and other parts of the country to help provide a variety of dance styles, industry professionalism, and perspective in today's dance and social climate.
Elektro Dance Academy focuses on foundational hip hop, industry-style choreography (both Hip Hop and Contemporary), technical styles such as ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, team competitions, showcases, and professional gigs. Elektro Dance Academy also makes room for video projects and work/train programs for those looking to further their knowledge in creating choreography and hone their teaching skills.
Elektro is a family-owned business and we pride ourselves on making our family bigger. A bigger family means more people to support you and your dreams. Amongst many of our mottos, one of our most important is “One Mind. One Soul. One Family." At Elektro, you will always be welcomed and treated like family.
At Elektro, we enjoy teaching people how to find their own brand of movement while also helping them learn to retain and apply movement created by other dancers. Moreover, it brings us joy to dance and create. At the core of everything, the joy of sharing an experience is why we love to dance and love the work that it comes with.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Learning Process
1. What do you want? As a studio, it is important to us that we know what is important to you. Learning your personal "Why" or "goal" helps us understand how much "push" you want from our studio. Some People have the goal of become a professional dancer. Therefore, we'll give you professional industry training. However, some people just want to have fun and stay in shape which is a great goal as well.
2. What are you looking for? Students come to our studio for many reasons. Some want to train to become a better dancers so we give them dance training drills and exercises (both creactively and physical). Sometimes students will come to us for choreography training or to be a part of competing choreography teams. Whether its for a perfromance, talent show, learning to create choreography, retention training, or choreogpahy we'll always make sure to meet the needs of our members and students. Lastly, dance can be an exercise in it of itself. If you're looking to stay fit, there are many combonations of moves that will keep the blood pumpin and make you sweat! In that case we would shift our lesson model to incorperate strength and cardio training through dance.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Our advice would be to look for someone that is going to push you. A dance teacher is much like a coach that encourages you to keep going. Look for someone who is patient with you and understanding what you want and pushes you towards that goal. Don't be afraid to ask tough questions. Their answers will give you insight into their professional training and experience.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
"Why am I doing this?"
"What do I want?"
"How do I reach my goal?"
"What am I comfortable with?"
"keeping my integrity, am I willing to go outside of my comfort zone to achieve my goal?"
