Students aged 13+ years stepping into our Elevate program can expect to gain physical mental and social benefits while releasing stress and taking a break from study and school work.

As students in this age group can sometimes have increased academic demands it's also super important to create balance with movement skills like dance to release pressure and not cause a shutdown.

Dance helps to release endorphins which are natural mood boosters that can help reduce stress and anxiety. Dancing can also help by providing focus, improving memory and cognitive function, and sharpening attention, concentration and problem-solving skills. 

Our Elevate students also experience greater cardiovascular health, muscular strength and flexibility, improved balance, stabilisation and coordination. Students learn good exercise habits which they can implement to have happy healthy lifestyles as they become young adults.

Dancing in groups helps teenagers strengthen social connections and create a sense of community, as well as provides opportunities to make new friends in different social groups/outside of school groups.

The benefit we love the most is the opportunity for teens to unleash their creativity and self-expression. Allowing them to express themselves in new and unique ways which is highly beneficial for their overall mental health and wellbeing.

When the world is encouraging them to fit in, we encourage them to be bright and stand out.
