Eva Reaves has been part of our dance family for over fifteen years!

She began her training at The Dance Element in 2007 and literally grew up within the walls of our studio. 

Through years of hard work and dedication, we have watched this acrobatic 6-year-old turn her natural dance abilities into the finely-tuned skills of a competent athlete and the creative artistry of a confident performer.

Proficient across many dance styles, Eva easily transitions from classical ballet to jazz, hip hop, contemporary,  modern, acrobatics, and tap techniques. 

As a senior member of the Element Productions Company, she danced several starring roles in The Dance Element's annual productions and perfected very complicated choreography for some of our “all-time greatest” and most memorable group numbers.  

Intrinsic musicality and quality of movement make Eva a stunning performer with a unique command over the audience and a striking presence on the stage.

In 2018, Eva created a contemporary piece for an Emerging Choreographers showcase that she was encouraged to audition for the annual Arts Sensation benefit concert at Thalian Hall. 

Her truly exceptional work entitled "Dreaming" was selected by a jury, and she was invited to perform in this popular mainstage event alongside professional dancers and musicians many years her senior.  


Inherently a leader and positive role model, Eva assisted with numerous classes and helped to nurture many younger dancers in her time as a Dance Element student.  

In 2020, she became the third graduate of our program to officially join our diversely talented faculty.

Her passion will surely ignite a spark in many aspiring artists among our next generation of students, and we could not be more excited for the fortunate dancers she will inspire in the years ahead!
