Specialties
Elevate Dance Academy was created with each dancer in mind. We want to provide the best training when it comes to dance education, but we also want to help each student reach their highest potential in the studio, their schools, their communities, etc.
We are committed to building each student up physically through dance, tumbling and cheer but also mentally and emotionally. Elevate strives to help each student feel loved, to help boost confidence, to help them know that every BODY is a dance body and to help them be good humans.
History
Established in 2020.
EDA was opened in October of 2020 with 30 students. Our one-room studio was barely 1,000 square feet, but we were grateful for the space and eager to get started. We will always love our little studio on Main Street in Newcastle where it all began.
Now, Elevate Dance Academy is north of Newcastle at 167 NE 31st Street. We are proud to call our studio home with over 5,400+ square feet, four studio rooms, changing rooms, lobby and office.
