Before Your First Dance Class

Let’s get ready for your dance class!


Guide to Your First Dance Class

We are excited to have you start your dance journey with us at Elev8 Dance! We can’t wait to have you in class and help you achieve your goals! Here’s what you need to know to prepare for your first class:

Hamiltons Best Dance School for Children

Dress the Part

Elev8 Dance is a uniform school. For new students, the uniform is included. With your first class, your teacher can help you find the right sizes and have your items ready for you over the upcoming weeks. Until your teacher hands you your uniform, opt for something simple: black pants or shorts and a simple T-shirt long enough to be tucked in when needed. Take a moment to brush and tie your hair back and off your face. For adult classes, come dressed for some light exercise. Shoes worn outside are not worn inside.

Stay Healthy

If you’re feeling under the weather, take the time to rest and recover at home. For trial classes, let us know so we can assist you in rescheduling.

Plan to Arrive

Arrive 5-10 minutes early to your first class so we can properly welcome you, show you around the studio, introduce you to your teacher, and answer any questions. All shoes are removed at the front door’s main entrance. Slippers are available at the door or bring some indoor slippers to keep your toes warm on colder days.

182 Dundurn St S

At 182 Dundurn Street, South parking is available behind the building. Enter through the front door. Located one block from Soccer World.

623 Upper Wellington

Parking at 623 Upper Wellington St (across from 7-Eleven) is available onsite or along Brucedale St. Enter through the building’s side entrance. Find the red door on the top floor.


Hair for Grade 3 Ballet Class

Grade three and above ballet classes require a proper ballet bun. Resources are available online, and below is a quick video to help you learn how to make a simple and well-prepared ballet bun. A clean ballet bun will take a little practice to master.
