Get To Know Us
About Royal Elan Performing Arts Center
We offer a unique and new way of teaching dance, through diverse dance styles; since 2014. Technique is key when learning any type of dance. We pride our learning with fundamentals, terminology and techniques that will help your dancer in the long run. Without technique in dancing the dancer will have a difficult time catching on and learning new material.
We use three words here at Royal Élan PAC that make the use of teaching dance impactful for the mind of any youth and they are: explore, inspire, and embody. Exploring by learning from another cultures dance style and researching its background and how it relates back to that specific culture. Thus, being able to and understand that there is more to life than what we know around us every day. The youth can learn and apply it in terms of dancing and knowledge, which will inspire them and their peers. Inspiration from other cultures and understanding what that means for them and their culture as to what they are used to and learning how to understand and better their surroundings and themselves by becoming inspired. Finally, to embody everything they have learned to transpire into what that means for them personally and further wise in their careers and life. By displaying openness and knowledge they can understand how they see their further and how they can create and follow their own paths all while doing something they love and we have a love and passion for at Royal Élan PAC: DANCE.
​
While we focus on our youth and development. We also accept all ages of dancers because here your passion is our passion and it’s never too late. We at Royal Élan PAC also believe in another word that helps with the growth of children and our youth and that’s; example. Leading by example from our older peers is also essential to their lives. Seeing us not giving up, being open-minded, and still having a passion for dance and people; will reassure them now and in the long run.
“Using explorative learning and diverse dance styles; we can explore the world, to inspire the world, of which we embody.”
