Our Story

About Elevé Academy of Dance

Elevé Academy of Dance was established in 2024 at Bryncynon Community Centre by professional dancer, teacher, and choreographer Ellie Jones. Elevé Academy of Dance is built on a strong sense of community, where children can build confidence, creativity, and self-esteem while receiving professional and tailored dance education.

We are a small school where every child truly matters. The academy follows the syllabuses of ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) and Acrobatic Arts. Dancers are encouraged to take examinations, and we are proud to hold a 100% pass rate. Our dancers also have opportunities to compete in local and international competitions and to perform in our annual dance show every March. Every child has a chance to shine, with so many exciting opportunities available.

Beyond the Studio

Children also have the opportunity to take part in show dances, including lyrical, contemporary, song and dance, and character work. These performance opportunities help dancers develop stage presence, confidence, and an appreciation for different dance genres.

Our annual dance show in March is a highlight of the year, where all students have the opportunity to perform on stage and showcase what they have learned. It's a celebration of hard work, dedication, and the incredible progress our dancers make throughout the year.
