Welcome to Cal Elite – Rancho Santa Margarita

Where Training Meets the Stage: Southern Orange County’s Premier Performance-Based Gym & Dance Studio

At Cal Elite, we believe that setting goals and performing builds unmatched confidence, discipline, and lifelong joy. Every child—from our youngest tumblers to advanced competitive athletes—gets their moment in the spotlight.

The Stage is for Everyone

Unlike traditional gymnastics and dance studios where performances are optional or restricted to elite teams, all of our programs—with the sole exception of swim—participate in live stage productions. We embrace every age and every level.

  • Recreational Students: Perform in 2 major productions per year—our festive holiday performance and our spectacular spring showcase. It gives recreational athletes a powerful goal to work toward and celebrate.
  • Dance Students: Perform in a minimum of 2 major productions per year (our holiday and spring showcases) plus our annual dedicated Dance Recital. For our competitive dance athletes, this schedule expands further to include regional dance competitions throughout the season.
  • Performance Team Athletes: Take the stage in 3 or more productions per year, spanning the fall season, holiday season, and spring. These dedicated athletes expand their repertoire, master stage presence, and experience high-level collaborative team production.

Programs Offered

Every program at Cal Elite is structured to foster athletic progress, confidence, and goal-oriented achievement. With the exception of swim, every program integrates directly into our seasonal stage productions!

Gymnastics: Foundational to advanced gymnastics instruction focusing on vault, bars, beam, and floor.

Tumbling: Dedicated floor and trampoline training designed for athletes of all skill levels looking to master power tumbling, handstands, and layout passes.

Dance & Pom: Expressive movement and high-energy cheer-style dance focusing on technique, rhythm, precise placement, and team synchronization for stage performances.

Cal Elite & REVE Dance Conservatory: Comprehensive dance training across multiple studio locations—offering ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, and hip-hop across both foundational recreational tracks and high-level conservatory performance teams.

Acrobatic Gymnastics: An exciting blend of balance, dynamic tumbling, and partner stunts where athletes work together to create breathtaking physical feats and stage-ready partner routines.

Aerial Arts: Specialty training in aerial silks, lyra (aerial hoop), and hammocks that combines core strength and flexibility with dramatic theatrical performance.

Swim Lessons & Aquatics: Comprehensive water safety, stroke development, and survival skills (Note: Swim is our sole non-performing program, dedicated entirely to aquatic mastery and safety in the water).

Why Performance Matters

Building Life-Long Confidence: Working toward a shared stage production teaches children teamwork, commitment, and how to overcome performance anxiety.

Professional Production Value: Our students don’t just dance or tumble in a gym—they perform in professionally produced seasonal shows complete with custom costuming, stunning lighting, and theatrical staging (such as our annual holiday tradition and spring showcases).
