Elizabeth Fujimoto, Owner/Instructor
Elizabeth has been fascinated with dance since she was a little girl. She would always listen to her father play the piano and dance while he played. She danced for hours as her father played. Since then Elizabeth has studied and trained in tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, ballroom, and a little bit of clogging. From 1996-2000 Elizabeth attended University of Utah where she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet Performance and a minor in Child Development. While at University of Utah she trained with Conrad Ludlow,and Adriano Whelch both dancers and/or choreographers for New York City Ballet. She also trained with other major dance performers and instructors from many other countries. At the time she attended University of Utah, they were ranked number 1 in the nation for their ballet program. She had a scholarship with their Character Dance Ensemble and danced with the U of Utah's Ballet Company. Elizabeth has been teaching dance all through out the Western United States since she was in High School. She also developed the Maricopa Parks, Recreation and Library's' fun and successful dance program. Elizabeth loves to watch how her students learn and excel not only in dancing, but also in life. Elizabeth has wanted to open a dance school since she was a little girl and she has worked extremely hard to do so. She feels very fortunate and blessed to live in a country where she can fulfill her dreams and teach others a love and appreciation for dance.
