Since its opening in 1999, Eminence Dance Studio has continued to grow and inspire youth with the joy of dance, expanding to multiple locations and moving to new facilities to accommodate the large influx of students.

From its humble beginnings as the dream of founders Alexander and Liliya it has become a landmark of the local community, participating in regional and national cultural festivals and competitions as well as putting on fun shows that are highlights of each year, and providing an education and more importantly a newfound passion for the children that are part of our experience.

We hold several concerts each year and give every child a fun and unique experience. Whether your kids are novices looking to try dance out and seeking a good time or committed experts in search of perfection for their technique, we can give you what you need.
Our head choreographer, Mrs. Liliya has studied dance since she was 3 and majored in dance education as an undergraduate. She earned a Master’s degree in Spanish dance and ballet, studying under the famous Flamenco dancer Pahomova and also has a postgraduate degree in dance teaching and art history. She has the diverse experiences of teaching dance at both university level and to children ages 3-18. These degrees are hard-earned testaments to the fact that she is one of the most qualified choreographers around, taught in the competitive environment of the world’s leader in ballet.

Here is a short statement which illustrates Mrs. Liliya’s philosophy on dance:

The rustle of the dress or tutu, the smell of resin on the dance floor, the shaking of your knees as you approach that stage which is your pedestal with its blinding light, your moment of fame, yet your moment of fear. The music commences and the resonance of its vibration blows away these sensations and all nervousness, pulling you into another world. This inexplicable joy of creation cannot be conveyed in words but it takes all artists to the height of enjoyment. It is an experience we all have had whenever we let go and sink into pure motion as an expression of emotion whether it’s at a recital or just at a party or disco. Yet, every child should have the opportunity to truly explore the passion on an intimate level, guided by the expert care of one who has been at the top of this art form. We want to give your kids the very best, a chance to see the essence of dance and a chance to get as much as they want from the experiment. This is why I always seek a fun and engaging atmosphere, surrounded by friendly students and staff, picturesque decorations, beautiful music, and, in sum, everything that can light the creative spark and help your child grow. We teach little people the path to finding big minds and big hearts and that is why I’ve always dreamed to do what I do.
