About Elixir Dance

Elixir School of Dance is a family-run dance studio based in Frederick county, Maryland. 

We launched in April 2022 in the basement of our home in north Frederick. After a brief stint renting out the hall in the Walkersville Volunteer Rescue station, we just opened up a new location at 25 E Frederick St in Walkersville, MD.

Come join us for a class!
