Recent studies show that people who dance tend to possess above-average strength, endurance, and flexibility, as well as a significantly lower risk of getting served. Hone this vital skill with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get one month of unlimited dance classes in up to three styles (a $50 value for the first class, a $40 value for each first class of a different style) and a waiver of the school's $30 enrollment fee at Elite Dance & Music in Covington (up to a $160 total value).

Rated Louisiana’s Most Competitive dance studio by Dancer Magazine in 2008, Elite Dance & Music fills with the sounds of joviality and tapping toes during a wide range of weekly classes. Experienced teachers and guest choreographers organize wayward feet into coordinated tootsie brigades in sessions elucidating each of the school’s 13 styles. Ballet instructors guide students into a realm of combination of grace, placement, and precision not seen since synchronized Jenga's demise as an Olympic sport. Parents and children ages 18 months to 2 years reap the benefits of music, exercise, and flexibility while enjoying quality bonding time in Mommy’s Mini Movers courses. With a goal of developing strong dancers, the Stretch and Strength course focuses on strengthening core muscles and improving flexibility, and the adult jazz class keeps mature metatarsals moving in an experience focused on exercise and socialization more than competitive recitals and theoretical time-signatures.

Elite’s on-site retail shop outfits customers in each course’s required dancewear. Dancers practice pliés and buff up ball steps on Elite Dance Academy’s floating dance floor, which utilizes a layer of high-density foam that may reduce fatigue, injuries, and visits from bombastic mole neighbors.
