Elevate Dance Academy
Chamber Member Spotlight
Business History and Services
Founded in 2020, Elevate Dance Academy opened its doors during one of the most unpredictable years in recent history — but with faith, courage, and passion, they dove in headfirst and have loved every moment since. The studio offers a wide range of dance and tumbling classes for all ages and levels, starting as young as 18 months in their Parent/Guardian & Me classes.
Their programs include Ballet, Hip Hop, Acro, Aerial Silks and Hoop, as well as a variety of popular preschool classes. Elevate is home to multiple programs — Pre-Professional, Competitive, Recreational, and All-Star Pom — allowing each dancer to find the right fit for their goals and experience level.
With 15 talented staff and faculty members, Elevate provides a welcoming environment where every student is encouraged to rise higher in both skill and character.
The Heart Behind the Business
Elevate Dance Academy was founded after God placed a clear calling on the heart of its owner — to open a studio that would be more than just a place to learn choreography, but a home where every dancer rises. It began as a leap of faith that didn’t make sense on paper, but with prayer and the support of a caring community, Elevate became a thriving center of faith, family, and the love of dance in Newcastle.
Through challenges such as relocating the entire studio due to the Oklahoma Turnpike project, the Elevate team has remained steadfast in their mission. Over the years, they’ve celebrated milestones, witnessed growth, and seen countless students blossom in confidence, creativity, and grace.
Elevate recently expanded with the opening of The Acro Lab, a full training facility next door designed to advance dancers’ acrobatic skills. The studio is proud to be the only one in the United States with AcroPad flooring — an innovative surface that helps elevate dancers to their highest potential.
Interesting Facts and Advice
Every Elevate class is built around the belief that every dancer can rise — whether they train once a week or pursue dance professionally. This uplifting philosophy guides everything they do.
Their advice to new business owners? “Celebrate small wins. Every sale, new client, or ‘first’ deserves a moment of gratitude. Those add up to the big wins down the road.”
