Elevate Summer Dance Intensive brings together the elite dance community each summer, offering a focused program designed to elevate dancers’ skills and artistry during the off-season. Our mission is to help dancers advance their training, refine their craft, and grow as confident young artists.
With a full schedule of classes in ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, lyrical, conditioning, and more, dancers experience rapid progress in a supportive, high-level environment.
Founded in 2016 by Brittney McCarthy, Elevate has welcomed dancers from across the Maritimes to train at the University of King’s College in Halifax, NS. Through Elevate Your Dancing (EYD), our extended community of dancers and parents gain access to summer training programs (both junior & senior available), shared resources, and one-on-one mentorship, helping them take their dance journey to the next level.
I love the elevate summer intensive so much! There are so many amazing and kind dancers and it’s such a happy environment to grow and learn with so many new people each year. I would highly recommend elevate summer intensive to anyone!

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.

Thank you so much, Brittney. The pictures are beautiful. This was an incredible experience for Ryan and Reese and I have already received two messages from their instructors this season on the growth they have noticed in them.
We are excited to audition again next year!

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.
