★★★★★ — P, May 2019

I have taught at a number of dance studios throughout my years as an instructor of contemporary and jazz. As an Elevation instructor I am very supported through focused and sound curriculum and provided the tools to be an effective teacher.

★★★★★ — Kat, May 2019

My daughter has danced at this studio for the last 3 years. The teachers have always been so kind, engaging and caring to her. She just turned 6, so Elevations has worked hard to make dance fun for her at a young age. I am thrilled to have her dance at Elevations.

Your first ballet class at Elevation Dance Studio

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
