Hi I'm Miss Brit
professional choreographer, instructor, mentor, passionate story-teller, goofball and overall lover of dance.
What is elevate your dancing ?
EYD is our community, built for dancers and parents, who wish to take their dancer’s training to the next level. With training programs, shared resources and 1:1 mentorship; we help dancers and parents navigate their way!
Founded by Brittney McCarthy in 2016, Elevate Summer Dance Intensive was born. Since then, dancers from all over the Maritimes have attended each summer to train together at the University of King’ s College (Halifax, NS). Recently, Brittney has launched 1:1 mentoring and plans to continue to provide resources for dancers interested in learning even more!
Summer DANCE INTENSIVE
Elevate Summer Dance Intensive was created to offer a training program to bring the elite dance community together during the summer months. Our goal is to use the time dancers are “off” from their regular season to level up their training!
We have created an experience for dancers to learn, connect and grow as young artists. Dancers are able to improve substantially and quickly due to highly concentrated schedules full of classes!
The weekly curriculum includes a daily ballet class, and a distinct variety of supplementary techniques including jazz, modern technique, body conditioning, contemporary, lyrical, improvisation and jazz. In order to give students the most effective and focused training, all students are evaluated individually before being admitted to Elevate’s Intensive Program.

Our Values
Miss Brittney strives to provide a stellar learning environment, fuelled by positivity, motivation and inspiration. Our mission is to elevate young dancer’s minds, bodies and spirits to a level they have never reached before. It is so important to us to give dancers a place to learn about bettering their dance training and to learn more about themselves.
We believe that a balanced dancer is a healthy dancer. Clearing our minds, moving our bodies and finding our purpose is so important to us at Elevate. Dancers learn how to overcome fears towards judgement, push past their limits of self doubt and gain the knowledge to overcome any injuries they have faced or might face in the future!
