DANCERS: THE ATHLETES OF GOD
- Albert Einstein
Ave Maria
Dance Academy
Our mission at Ave Maria Dance Academy is to provide our dancers with the highest-quality training so they can explore, cultivate, and express their God-given talents while nurturing their love of the performing arts.
Styles offered
​
lYRICAL
Lyrical is an expressive and fluid quality of dance in which intense emotions are shown. Poses showing off dancers’ flexibility and strength are held as long as possible, jumps are high and explosive, and turns are fluid, melting into the next step. Lyrical dance is an excellent addition to the ballet/jazz dancers’ arsenal. Technique and amalgamation of both disciplines need to be mastered so that the dancer can concentrate on emotionally performing the steps rather than on their mere execution. A beautiful and moving style, lyrical is a favorite of many.

Ms. Elizabeth's dance training began at Radomile Academy of Dance under Linda Radomile and Nancy Page, both principal dancers of the Brandywine Ballet and Tim Early of the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet and co-director of Philadelphia based modern dance company, Opus. Ms. Elizabeth had the privilege of dancing in the Senior Company as a Soloist for over 4 years and performed in many lead roles, including the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker Ballet. Ms. Elizabeth graduated from DeSales University with a B.A. in TV/Film. During her time at University, Ms. Elizabeth continued to study and perform Ballet, Pointe and Partnering, Modern and Contemporary dance, and trained under Trinette Singleton of the Joffrey Ballet. Ms. Elizabeth has been teaching dance since 2013 and is grateful for the many blessings that dance has brought into her family’s life. She loves being at home with her wonderful husband and 5 children and now homeschools her oldest 2 children.
"My children have been attending classes at Ave Maria Dance Academy three times a week since October 2013. We were considering several dance studios at that time and I'm so glad we chose this one! My children could not be happier. It is a very kid friendly environment with professional, talented and very dedicated staff. The last year spring recital was heads and shoulders above the rest in Naples area. We look forward to the next one!"
