Step Together. Give Together.

Elite Naach Academy was founded on the principle of community. 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. 

Why Step Together?

The program officially launched in April 2020 during a trying time for many communities and businesses worldwide. Elite Naach Academy sought community support for upcoming youth programs. Thank you to everyone who invested in us and more importantly, our students! By the end of April, E.N.A. felt the urgency to give back in the same way our neighbors supported us. In May, we extended the program beyond the bounds of our academy, aiming to raise awareness, build allies, and gain support for our community. At E.N.A., we are committed to our Community Action program and will host regular charitable dance opportunities. Let's unite to support local charity causes!

We want to make a difference together, and dance for joy while we do it! Join the movement, let’s step together.
