RISE Performance Team

RISE Performance Team is a performance-based group within Elevate Dance Company, under the direction of Kelli LaBelle and Savannah Ng. RISE is open to dancers ages 10-13 and provides performance opportunities for dancers who are interested in experiencing the excitement of performing as part of a dance team, with a more flexible time commitment than our competitive Elevate Dance Company. Our team values are Teamwork, Confidence, Positivity, and Hard Work. The goal of the program is to help dancers grow both on and off the stage, while building strong foundational technique, performance quality, and a love for dance in a supportive team environment.

RISE dancers attend two local competitions and one local convention each season. To be eligible for RISE Performance Team, all members must be enrolled in at least 2 classes at Inspire Academy of Dance. Students can choose their preferred genre of class. Students are also required to attend a weekly 30-minute rehearsal where they will practice their competition routine.

Participation in RISE Performance Team is by teacher invitation. Students are invited in April for participation the following season. Teachers recommend students for RISE based on their passion and work ethic. If you are interested in more information about RISE or would like to have your dancer evaluated for readiness, please email kelli@inspire.dance.
