The reason for the season is GRATITUDE!! We are so grateful for the beautiful children we get to inspire each day, our school partners who allow us to do so, and of course the best teaching artists in the city who pour into these students day after day!!
We wish everyone a happy Holiday season and thank you to Howe, Piccolo, Tarkington, Zapata, Coonley, Jamieson, Mather, Peterson, Talcott and Beard schools for entrusting your students dance education to us this fall session!!

Wednesdays are always busy at Elevate and this week was no exception. While our incredible teaching artists dropped knowledge at 6 of our partner schools around the city, our leadership team attended the Fall Arts Summit, seeing old friends and developing new partnerships for the coming year. It’s going to be another great season of quality arts education !
