Guide to Your First Dance Class
We are excited to have you start your dance journey with us at Elev8 Dance! We can’t wait to have you in class and help you achieve your goals! Here’s what you need to know to prepare for your first class:
Dress the Part
To build community, develop skills and make the most of our time in classes, Elev8 Dance is a uniform school for our youth dancers. Based on your program, most uniform items are fully included with your enrollment payment, and your teacher can provide detailed information in the studio. During your first class, let your teacher know that you need to be fitted for your uniform, and they will have items ready for you in the upcoming weeks. Until your teacher hands you your uniform, opt for black pants or shorts and a simple T-shirt long enough to be tucked in when needed. Take a moment to brush and tie your hair back and off your face. For adult classes, come dressed for some light exercise. Shoes worn outside are not worn inside.
Stay Healthy
If you’re feeling under the weather, take the time to rest and recover at home. For trial classes, let us know so we can assist you in rescheduling.
Plan to Arrive
For your first class, plan to arrive a few minutes early so we can properly welcome you, show you around, introduce you to your teacher, and answer any questions. All shoes are removed at the front door’s main entrance. Slippers are available at the door, or bring some indoor slippers to keep your toes warm on colder days.

Parking is available behind the building. When facing the building, the entrance to the parking lot is to the left. Enter through the front door.
623 Upper Wellington St

Photos and Videos
Photos and videos are not permitted during class time; however, teachers may invite parents into the studio several times throughout the year for pictures and videos. To encourage students to try their best, we aim to create a safe environment where students can try something new and take chances without worrying about those falls and missed steps being posted on the internet.
Hair for Grade 3 Ballet Class
Ballet classes in grades three ballet and above require a proper bun. Resources are available online, and below is a quick video to help you learn how to make a simple and well-prepared bun. A clean bun will take a little practice to master.
