Our story
A studio born from a passion
for the stage.
Founded in 2011 by Audrey Simard, a professional dancer, Studio Élan was born from a simple desire: to give Sainte-Julie a place where dance is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or level. Today, more than 500 students learn ballet, jazz, hip-hop and contemporary dance here, in a family spirit where everyone finds their place.
Our values
Accessibility
Dance for everyone, regardless of age, level or budget.
Discipline
Structured teaching by qualified, passionate teachers.
Family
A warm studio where students and parents feel at home.
Audrey Simard, founder
"Dance teaches you to know yourself, push your limits and trust your body. That's what I want to pass on to every student."
A professional dancer before founding Studio Élan in 2011, Audrey has trained hundreds of students, from the free trial class to the annual show's stage.
