About Us

WELCOME TO ELEV8 DANCE ACADEMY 
Elev8 Dance Academy opened its doors in 2011 with Kat Hendy leading the way. Since then the Academy has grown and developed, with additional classes added to the schedule, workshops, shows, and more. We offer Ballet, Street Dance, Tap, Lyrical, and Acro for a variety of ages at our Thursday/Saturday Academy, and offer regular monthly workshops in Contemporary and Creative Dance. 
We offer IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association) examinations in Ballet and have a 100% pass rate. 

Kat Hendy is the Principal and Ballet teacher, Amy O'Sullivan is the Street Dance Teacher and cover Principal, and we have a team of our senior dancers (Lucy, Phoebe, Teyla, Evie and Gracie) taking the role of teaching assistants. 
 
We promote a fun, safe, and rewarding learning environment for all of our students, with their confidence and ability at the forefront of their training. 

It is easy to book a free trial class with us, or enquire to find out more. Simply contact Kat on kat@elev8danceacademy.co.uk or use the 'contact' page on this website.
