Mission, Vision, and Values
Are you struggling with growth in your current dance studio?
Many dancers become stagnant in their current dance environment or feel out-of-place. We understand that it is difficult to find somewhere that focuses on providing a strong technical base while great emphasis is placed on building character for each individual. At Elements, our mission, vision, and values ensures a wholesome family environment and a positive experience for all all.
Where Dance Builds Character
Mission
EDA takes pride in its non-competitive nature because its value is based on a whole child integrative and educational approach. EDA grants opportunities to connect with art, nature, music, dance, and most importantly people. Although EDA teaches technique, we place equal importance on teaching fundamental character traits. EDA’s purpose is to intentionally build up strong leaders through our mentoring program that exemplify grit, grace, gratitude and generosity through the dance experience.
Vision
Elements Dance Academy exists to empower dancers in recognizing their own individual worth and value as we focus on the 5 elements of dance: body, time, energy, space, and relationships. EDA creates leaders that become role models in society and offer support for the community. EDA values relationships which is why we embody empathy and kindness, with great hope that it will flow outwardly into the world through our dancers.
Values
Grit: We believe through working hard, especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement, we work through them together as a community.
Grace: We believe in being kind to each other with nothing expected in return.
Gratitude: We believe in recognizing, respecting, and being grateful for the opportunities presented to us which makes us grow as dancers and as people.
Generosity: We believe in an outwardly approach of continuously seeking new ways in giving back to the community and to one another.
