🎉✨ TODAY IS THE DAY! ✨🎉

We’re so excited to officially begin onboarding our amazing students and families to the brand-new Elevate Parent Portal! 💜

Take some time to explore the platform, have a look around, and get familiar with everything it has to offer. With September just around the corner, we’d really appreciate your support in getting your child registered and set up as soon as possible. This will help ensure a smooth start to the new term, as students who are not registered will not automatically appear on our class registers.

This portal is designed to be your one-stop shop for everything Elevate, and while we’ll continue developing and improving it as we go, we’re incredibly proud to finally share it with you.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and first impressions! Thank you for being part of this exciting new chapter for Elevate Ballet & Dance. 💜

😀 Today I am feeling incredibly proud.🥲

Two years ago, I took a leap and introduced GCSE Dance to Elevate Ballet & Dance. It was something I had always hoped I might one day be able to offer, but I never imagined just how rewarding the journey would be.

This year, my very first GCSE Dance cohort achieved outstanding results:
⭐ B/C
⭐ B
⭐ B
⭐ A

These grades represent so much more than letters on a page. They reflect two years of dedication, resilience, commitment, growth, hard work, and determination. I have watched these students develop not only as dancers but as confident, capable young people, and I couldn’t be prouder of what they have achieved.

To the girls – thank you for trusting me, working tirelessly, embracing every challenge, and always giving your best. I hope you are incredibly proud of yourselves because you truly deserve to be.

A huge thank you to the parents who trusted me with this new venture and supported both the students and myself throughout the journey. We’ve certainly faced challenges along the way, but your patience, encouragement, and support have meant everything.

Special thanks to ArtsPool education for being my mentor over the last two years and always being at the end of the phone whenever I needed guidance. Your support has been invaluable.

And thank you to Cross Roads for stepping in and supporting us when we needed it most, helping to ensure the girls had a centre after we were let down on numerous occasions.

My heart is so full today. These results mean the world, and I couldn’t be happier for every one of these students.

Congratulations, girls. You have made your teacher incredibly proud. ❤️

🌞WEATHER🌞

As the weather continues to get warmer, I wanted to reassure everyone that all dance classes will continue as normal.

I understand that some schools and activities have chosen to close during the hotter weather. However, we are very fortunate that our venue remains cool, airy and well ventilated, which enables us to continue delivering classes safely and comfortably for our dancers.

The wellbeing of our students is always our top priority, and we will be taking additional precautions during classes to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable.

To help keep everyone safe, we will:
• Take extra water breaks throughout lessons.
• Regularly check in with dancers to ensure they are feeling OK.
• Adjust activities where needed based on the temperature and energy levels of the class.

We would appreciate your support by ensuring dancers:
• Wear suitable, lightweight clothing where appropriate.
• Bring plenty of water to every class.
• Arrive well hydrated, particularly on warmer days.

As always, if we had any concerns regarding the safety of our dancers, we would communicate any changes immediately. At present, we are confident that our venue and the measures we have in place allow us to continue classes safely.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to keeping everyone dancing, learning and enjoying their classes throughout the summer months.

📣✨ SHOUT OUT ✨📣

A huge congratulations to these incredible ladies who earlier this year completed their Dance Leaders Level 1 qualification! 🎉💃

Each and every one of them passed with flying colours and received fantastic feedback for their hard work, dedication and commitment throughout the course. 🌟

I am so proud of everything you have achieved. It has been amazing to watch your confidence grow, your leadership skills develop, and to see some of you already putting those skills into practice in classes.

Keep believing in yourselves – this is just the beginning! 💖
