From the reviews
My girls love their dance teachers and feel very comfortable in the space. They have learned so much since starting here at Elevate! Very inclusive and supportive space.
I have been dancing at ELevate since it opened in 2018 and I love it. I have learned so much from the teachers and assistants. I take 3 types of dance at ELevate and all of the teachers I have had are amazing! I have been dancing with one teacher for 5 years and I can't even tell you how much I've learned from her.
This studio is awesome and they make every child feel welcome. My girls love it here and they love Miss Lisa. Miss Lisa has allowed my oldest daughter with social anxiety to do things a little differently, at her pace, and this has helped her feel comfortable with attending class.
Amazing teachers and a fantastic environment! I am proud to be part of this growing studio. My daughter has been dancing for just over 12 years and loves every minute she spends at ELevate Dance. ELevate Dance provides a warm, and friendly environment where your dancer can grow and flourish. Come Dance With US!
Adult ballet at Elevate Dance
Elevate Dance runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Elevate Dance
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.
