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
The Elevate Summer Dance Intensive was designed to bring together the elite dance community during the summer months, offering a program that elevates dancers’ skills while they are “off” from their regular season. Our mission is to help dancers use this time to advance their training and refine their craft.
We’ve created an environment where dancers can learn, connect, and grow as young artists. With a highly focused schedule full of diverse classes, dancers experience rapid and significant improvement.
The weekly curriculum includes daily ballet classes alongside a broad range of supplementary techniques such as jazz, modern, body conditioning, contemporary, lyrical, improvisation, and more. To ensure each dancer receives the most effective and personalized training, every student is individually evaluated before being accepted into Elevate’s Intensive Program.

Elevate Dancer
I had a wonderful experience at Elevate. I felt it benefited me greatly by helping me improve my technique and my performance skills around dance. One of the things I loved most about my experience at Elevate was meeting new dancers from other studios and getting to work with them during partner improve while sharing our love for dance with each other. Elevate helped me build up my confidence as a dancer and it was one of the best opportunities I’ve taken to help take my dance career to the next level.

Our Values
Miss Brittney is dedicated to providing a stellar learning environment, fueled by positivity, motivation, and inspiration. Our mission at Elevate is to uplift young dancers’ minds, bodies, and spirits to levels they have never reached before.
We prioritize creating a space where dancers can not only enhance their training but also learn more about themselves. We believe that a balanced dancer is a healthy dancer. Clearing our minds, moving our bodies, and discovering our purpose are essential elements of our program.
At Elevate, dancers learn to overcome their fears of judgment, push beyond self-doubt, and acquire the knowledge to navigate any injuries they may have faced or may encounter in the future.
