Dance Classes That Make Your Soul Smile

A Robust Variety of Classes in North County San Diego

At San Elijo Dance And Music Academy we offer a variety of dance and music classes ranging from classical ballet to contemporary dance, from hip-hop to jazz and lyrical, ensuring that there is something for each child to enjoy. For ages 2 to 18 we have recreational and pre-professional classes tailored to every level of interest and ability. Our talented faculty members are experts in their fields and we care about helping each and every student reach their individual goals while gaining self confidence and a sense of achievement. At SEDMA we believe that when children are having fun and enjoying their surroundings, they will thrive in their artistic education while developing lifelong skills of confidence, poise, strength, and self-expression. We strive for artistic excellence and precision performance, always with love, compassion, and fun.

Youngest Dancers Classes


Dance With Me, Pre-Primary, Primary, Pre-K, Kinder and Elementary dance classes are our youngest dancers’ first exposure to ballet and moving creatively to music. Our instructors foster a love and understanding of rhythm, coordination, exercise, and independence. Rotating class themes such as Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty help bring imagination to life in a continually engaging group setting.

Dance With Me and Pre-Primary Dance Classes

Dance With Me dance classes are the perfect introduction to a classroom setting for our tiniest dancers. Our instructors instill a love for dance and music in a fun interactive class structure that continually engages the interest of the children and parents alike. Caregivers participate in the activities with their children in Dance With Me providing support and comfort as their darling dancers gain the independent listening skills and confidence needed to graduate to Pre-Primary Dance. In Pre-Primary our tiniest dancers explore their budding autonomy in a class independent from their caregiver.

  • I danced here for 10 wonderful years….

    “All the teachers here are dedicated to each student and helping them grow as a dancer. I loved every year I spent training at this studio. Every teacher has their own personal experience with dance, bringing inside knowledge and variety to each class. Overall, I recommend this studio to any dancer looking for a family of talented and inspiring dancers and teachers!“

  • I have been impressed with SEDMA!…

    “Our daughter has been dancing with the studio for years, and she has blossomed into an excellent dancer. What impresses me the most? Excellent teachers, excellent opportunities to dance with professionals, and the care the owners and faculty put into knowing each family that is a part of the studio.“

    Rick Saunders

  • This school is nothing like we have experienced….

    “It is well managed and offers a wide range of classes. Best of all it gave my 3 children self confidence in their capabilities and the proper skills to perform at their recital.“
