"Life on pointe is a wonderful dance studio! It feels like home ☺️. Elyanna is an amazingly talented ballet teacher and is continuously educating herself to be even better! My daughters have danced with her for about 5 years and we are thrilled she now has her own studio! It’s also a breath of fresh air to be involved at a dance studio that is so encouraging and supportive of all dancer."

We are a team of certified dance professionals dedicated to delivering evidence-based coaching that fits the modern-day ballet world. Our mission is to create a safe space for exploring creativity, learning, sharpening motor skills, and nurturing young minds to become intelligent and respectable artists.

We also value the healing that artistic movement provides when done in the right space, which is why we welcome and aim to create a safe community for adult dancers to explore their craft, creativity, and abilities, bringing joy to themselves and others.

No matter who you are, where you started, where you came from, or what you’ve experienced- no matter your age or your figure, anyone has the right to experience the joy of the movement that dance brings.

Ms. Ellie has been my ballet teacher and mentor for the past few years, and she has taught me so much. She supports me every step of the way and is always there for me. She doesn’t just care about technique. She cares about her students as people. She has helped so many dancers in the Central Valley by teaching, mentoring, and encouraging them to be their best. She creates a positive space where dancers feel supported and seen. Through her guidance, a lot of us have grown stronger and more confident. Ms. Ellie is an Impactful Mover because she truly cares and helps make the dance community a better place.
