Elevé Dance Center

Although Elevé Dance Center is newer to the Hampton Roads area, we are very rich in history. Many of our dancers began their dance education at Wilkins School of Dance which we said good-bye to in June of 2014. We were fortunate enough to keep our studio family together and in doing so, Elevé Dance Center was born.

Elevé Dance Center is based on a dance term meaning "to rise." When choosing a name for our new studio, the word rise had many meanings - the literal meaning is to go up on the toes, something that our dancers of all ages learn from the beginning. Secondly, we strive not only to teach our students the technical side of dance, but the importance of discipline, hard work, and self-confidence. We want our dancers to embody the grace, poise, and passion that dance instills. We truly believe not rising to meet others, but rising to meet ourselves is a creed that we can carry with us long after our dance shoes no longer fit.

Our styles we teach include: ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, modern, pointe, and hip hop.

We are committed to our dance education for our students. Terminology and technique are stressed and are a very important part of the learning process. If you are looking for a nurturing, but disciplined environment for your child or for yourself, we hope you will consider our studio!
