What Dancers Say About ELEV8 STUDIOS DANCE ACADEMY

4.8/5 from 17 Google reviews.

Elev8 Studios Dance Academy have the most dedicated teachers you’ll find anywhere! I think they even teach in their sleep. They care so passionately about every dancer that comes through their doors; from those who are 17 and well on their way to becoming professional, to the delightful 3 and 4 year olds who are just discovering dance for the first time. My son joined in 2017. It’s not easy being a boy who thinks he might like dance. But all the pupils are very welcoming and the teaching is inclusive. We’re so happy we chose ELEV8 Studios as our ‘dance family’. The teachers have encouraged my — Lorna Delayahu

An amazing dance school where everybody is included and supported to develop their potential, whether it be purely recreational or with a view to pursuing a career in dance. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and supportive. Everybody thoroughly enjoys the opportunities provided from exams to festivals and shows; the teachers’ choreography is amazing! But perhaps one of the greatest strengths of this dance school is the sense of community and support everybody has for one another, and the lifelong friendships which are formed. I am proud to be associated with this a— Victoria Fletcher
