From the reviews
We are incredibly blessed to be a part of the Elevate Family. We transferred here looking for a family atmosphere where all students and levels of dancers are challenged and loved. The coaches push these dancers to be better versions of themselves in and out of the studio!
The owners and their teachers are incredibly passionate about the art of dance. With every discipline, they deliver with heart in their studio classrooms (and zoom) and bring an entire experience to the stage! It is literally like a small mini-broadway show that parents, judges, audience get to see.
Beaming with pride to call Elevate our new dance home!! Not only has my kid (11) improved tremendously in her technique, performance quality and competition placements ... but her passion for dance is back and stronger than ever.
We switched to Elevate almost a year ago, and it has been a wonderful experience. Brittany, Michel, and the rest of their staff care deeply about each and every one of their dancers, and have created an atmosphere that fosters inclusivity, acceptance, hard-work, and growth.
Your first ballet class at Elevate Dance Academy
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
