IT'S AUDITION WEEK! We have over 60 dancers signed up for Crave Team auditions this year and we are so extremely excited to see them get diggity down!

Recital is over and we're ready for auditions!⁠
--⁠
Parents, please be sure you got your dancer's placement email. Dancers will only be admitted for levels they have been approved for.⁠
--⁠

Happy Graduation Day, Sophia! You have been such a joy at Elevate, from your hard work and dedication as a dancer to your care and passion as a teacher. We are so proud of you!

"Sophia has always been kind, grateful, willing to help anyone, at any time, and loyal. Her positive personality makes the room shine when she walks in. She is a one-of-a-kind dancer and very talented. Even though we are all sad to see someone so wonderful move on, her graduation is simply a symbol of her success. I hope that whatever life may put in your path, no matter how hard, you always feel loved and appreciated."
-Anne, Backstage Bestie

Tomorrow is our sign-up deadline for our 2023-24 Auditions!

Our signups for our 2023-24 Crave Team auditions close next Friday! Be sure to sign up before it's too late.⁠
--⁠

Happy Graduation Day, Alyssa! We have loved watching you grow the last three years and are proud to call you a Crave Team dancer. You are sweet, silly, strong, and smart. Thank you for your constant hard work, contagious giggles, and loving mentorship for the younger dancers.

"Alyssa is an amazing person as well as an amazing dancer. I'm so glad I've been able to dance with her for the past two years. I'm very proud of her and I hope college goes well. She's like a big sister to me and I'm really glad she was my backstage bestie. I love her!"
-Avery, Backstage Bestie

With auditions quickly approaching for next season, we want to make sure our parents are well-informed about our team. Our Parent Information Meeting is Friday, June 2nd at 7pm!

Auditions are exciting but a little nerve wracking... for the dancer and the parent. Join us for our parent info meeting on June 2nd to calm your nerves and theirs and get excited about our 2023-24 Crave Team season!

“When you dance to your own rhythm, life taps its toes to your beat.” – Terri Guillemets

Hailey Doyle and Nicole Cook are our incredible tap teachers! In addition to a multitude of high adjudications (including the ever-coveted Crystal), our tap dances have received many judges' awards for sound clarity and rhythms, student choreography awards, High Score Overall Winner for 13+ out of 385 routines, the ADCC Studio of Excellence Award, Industry Dance Awards Best Tap Performance, and the Al Gilbert Award for outstanding technique and choreography.

I guess you could say they are pretty fan-tap-tic. 🤣

It's that time of year! Crave team auditions are coming up and we can't wait to welcome new dancers onto the team.⁠
--⁠
Parents, if you have questions, join us for our in-person meeting where we'll go through what a typical season looks like and answer any questions you may have.⁠ If your dancer is age eligible, check your inbox for details.⁠
--⁠

Our final full-team regional competition has come to a close, and what a competition it was! We laughed, we cried, and we celebrated a season of hard work and fun!

Thank you to Rainbow Dance Competition for an awesome weekend where we were able to support I'm A Dancer Against Cancer, a charity very close to our hearts.

A special congratulations to our two graduating seniors, Sophia and Alyssa, for completing their final regional competition with EDC Crave Team! We are so proud of you.

Here are some of the beautiful moments created by Jennifer Daugavietis and Rebecca Cleaver Beck in our lyrical routines this season! So stunning, so elegant!

Good friends lift you up. Best friends throw you across the stage.

Not to be dramatic, but we can't believe how quickly this season has flown by! We only have one competition left that our entire team will be attending!

Time really flies when you're having fun! 😁

This was an incredibly special weekend for our dancers. In addition to SLAYING on stage, our company tap "James Session" was awarded the High Score Overall Winner for ages 13+. There were 385 dances that fell into that category!

Additionally, we were awarded the ADCC Studio of Excellence award, gifting scholarships to all of the dancers in "James Session"!

We are so proud of all our dancers' hard work and so grateful to Headliners Dance Championships for a super fun competition!
