Kristine Morical
Elevé Dance is awesome. Our daughter started out dancing with Elevé at her daycare though Transfiguration Lutheran Church and Brittany was so great and patient with the kids. She just started an Intermediate Hip Hop class this year and has been loving it even when joining halfway through the class. The instructor and her classmates got her up to speed quickly and she's made some new dance buddies. Elevé has also attended many of our school events at Westwood getting the kids involved with dancing at playground nights. I would definitely recommend trying out a class if you think your child might be interested.

If you're looking for a place where your children can learn to dance and connect with others in a family-friendly environment, this is it! Their programs are well-structured, and are professional curriculums. What I like the most is how welcoming and family-friendly they are. As you get to know the people there, you will start to feel like part of a community, it makes Elevé so special.

Elevé Performing Arts Center has been a part of our lives since our daughter took a week-long dance camp when she was 4. Not only did she have a blast, but we were blown away by the skills she learned in one short week (which far surpassed the skills she had learned the entire previous year at another dance studio). From there, we enrolled her in tap and ballet classes and very quickly after that decided to go join the competition teams.
For the past 10 years, our daughter has shown continual growth - not just in her technique and dance abilities but also socially and emotionally, too. Brittany Milan (owner) and all of her instructors are incredibly talented, supportive, and truly care about each dancer's growth and confidence. The environment is positive, professional, and like a second home for our daughter. Elevé is a gem and we're so grateful to be part of this amazing dance family!

My daughter has danced at Elevé for 7 year, starting in the recreational program and moving to competition. She has grown so much because of the wonderful teachers at Elevé. She is challenged, but not pushed beyond her limits. We have loved building a dance community through Elevé!
