Confidence, Coordination, and Connection—Built Through Movement
Boys build coordination, control, and physical awareness through energetic tap and hip hop training. Each class is designed to develop athletic movement, rhythm, and stamina in a way that keeps them challenged and motivated.
In a space designed for boys to move freely and be themselves, students learn to express emotion, style, and personality through dance. These moments of self-expression build lasting confidence both on and off the stage.
Our all-boys classes are built on camaraderie. Dancers connect through shared goals, group choreography, and positive peer support—building trust, communication skills, and lifelong friendships.
Boys Dance Strong—Tap
& Hip Hop Classes
The Boys Company program gives boys a focused, high-energy space to learn, grow, and perform.

Discover why the Boys Company program at Elevé can offer a more balanced and meaningful experience for boys ages 5–13—compared to traditional sports or general recreational activities.
Many traditional sports emphasize physical performance and outcomes, often placing less value on creativity, emotional development, or individuality.
With tryouts and skill-based selections, less experienced or less competitive boys may be left out, limiting their opportunity to grow and connect.
The focus on winning and team rankings can create pressure that overshadows enjoyment, self-expression, and healthy social interaction.
In large team environments, it can be tough for coaches to give personal feedback or attention—especially to newer or quieter participants.
Our boys-only dance classes build physical coordination, musicality, confidence, and character—all in an environment that honors how boys move and learn.
Every dancer is encouraged, whether it’s their first time stepping into a studio or they’ve been moving for years. No tryouts. No benching. Just support.
Boys learn to work as a team, show up for one another, and enjoy every part of the process—from warmups to final performance.
Smaller classes mean our instructors really know their students. Each boy is guided with intention, helping him grow not just as a dancer, but as a person.
Where Movement Meets Skill
At Elevé Performing Arts Center, our Boys Company classes give boys ages 5–13 a dynamic outlet to build strength, coordination, and body control in a way that feels natural—and fun. Each movement is rooted in rhythm and purpose, helping dancers improve agility, balance, and spatial awareness while staying fully engaged. Whether they’re stomping out tap beats or mastering hip hop grooves, boys are learning how to move with intention and confidence. Our experienced instructors bring structure, athleticism, and creativity together to help each student grow stronger, sharper, and more self-assured—both in the studio and beyond.
Focus That Grows With Every Step
At Elevé Performing Arts Center, we understand that boys often learn best when they’re actively engaged. That’s why our Boys Company classes are designed to keep them moving with purpose—channeling their energy into structured, goal-oriented dance activities. With clear direction, repetition, and musical cues, boys develop sharper concentration, stronger listening skills, and a growing ability to follow multi-step instruction.
From warm-ups to choreography, every class is built to help boys strengthen their attention span while feeling successful and supported. What they learn in the studio—focus, patience, and follow-through—translates far beyond dance, helping them show up more confidently in the classroom, at home, and anywhere else they’re learning to lead.
Teaching Grit With Movement and Encouragement
At Elevé Performing Arts Center, we believe growth comes from trying, not just getting it right the first time. That’s why our Boys Company classes are built around progress, not perfection. As boys take on new choreography and skills, they’re challenged to stay focused, keep practicing, and push through the hard parts—with guidance from instructors who know how to coach with patience and positivity.
In this supportive setting, boys learn that mistakes aren’t setbacks—they’re stepping stones. Each small success helps build lasting confidence, while every challenge teaches resilience and emotional strength. These moments on the dance floor prepare boys to face obstacles with courage, both in class and in life.
Teamwork That Builds Trust and Belonging
At Elevé Performing Arts Center, boys learn that dance isn’t just about individual progress—it’s about showing up for one another. In our Boys Company classes, students work together through group combinations, shared choreography, and performance prep that highlights cooperation, not competition.
They learn to take turns, respect each other’s space, and recognize the value of every dancer in the room. This sense of unity fosters a powerful team spirit where encouragement comes naturally, and accomplishments are celebrated together. For many boys, this is where friendships start, confidence grows, and community becomes just as rewarding as the movement itself.

Great neighborhood dance studio. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. My daughter loves it. Has a wide variety of classes.
My daughter loves dancing at Elevé. She’s really grown a lot as a dancer since dancing here and it’s a really positive environment. Definitely recommend!
We absolutely ❤️ Eleve! Our 7 year old daughter has been there for 3 years now, taking recreation classes, and she is having so much fun!! Thank you Eleve for making her feel so welcome and helping her learn as she grows!
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!
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!
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 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.
