About
Dance with E.N.A.


Vision Statement
We look forward to watching our students become leaders in their communities and future teachers of our programs. We envision a future where dancers of all backgrounds are valued and seen in their communities; a future world where individuals live boldly in their truth and joy.

Values
We believe in community, celebrating our differences, coming together through a shared love of movement, and giving back to the beautiful people who surround us. 
We believe in health, both physical and mental, and the holistic value that dance adds in support of both individual and community health. 
We believe in empowering people through art, encouraging them to share their stories, find their voices, and live in their truths. 
We believe in artists of all ages, races, and backgrounds, approaching dance education as a stepping stone to both professional arts careers and community leadership roles.

History
E.N.A. was founded in 2015 by Enakshi Vyas out of a need for more diverse dance programs in Marin County. Seeing a lack in holistic dance approaches, mentorship programs, scholarship opportunities, and diverse curriculums, she set out to create a more inclusive, empowering, and creative dance experience. In the years since, our programs have reached cities around the globe and throughout our home in the San Francisco, Bay Area. Our students range from pre-school to adults, professionals and enthusiasts, from our studios, private arts institutions, and universities alike. We have participated in and contributed to a range of community outreach programs in Marin County, Santa Clara, and Sacramento. Our performing company and team of instructors have had the privilege of spreading the power of dance throughout the United States, India, Athens, Madrid, and Toronto.

Elite Naach Academy is an Arts Equity Champion and proud member of the Teaching Artist Guild.

Our Programs
Our talented group of instructors teach dance and fitness classes for toddlers, children, teens, and adults, in a variety of styles.
Our scholarship program is designed to make our programs more accessible to the marginalized communities. We invite all families in need to apply.
Students interested in furthering their training past the classroom can apply for our E.N.A. Internship Program.

We believe that together we can make our society stronger, more beautiful, and more loved. Step Together is E.N.A.’s Community Action program dedicated to local causes. 

Whether you are a recreational dancer, a serious trainee, or a dance enthusiast, our diverse program has a class, workshop, or private lesson for everyone!

We are your studio. We are your family.
