Niverville’s Elite Dance Academy has undergone an exciting transformation over the summer months. New and returning dancers are pirouetting, flapping, and jazz-walking their way into a new 4,000-square-foot dance school. In addition to the change in venue, owners and artistic directors Danielle Auld and Melanie Ducharme, have renamed their school the Prairie Soul Dance Company. They are proud to be a family owned and operated business, grounded by their prairie roots.
