Our School

We are a friendly dance school based in Sherwood, Nottingham. Elevation Dance launched in 2020 when Yasmin took over, but from 1976-2020 the school ran under the name the Jill Gregory School of Dancing, under Jill’s management. All of our staff are DBS checked and undergo regular training to ensure the best provision for our dancers.

​

Our Mission

We are proud to welcome students of all interest levels and abilities. We are committed to delivering an excellent quality of dance experience and education. Our classes in ballet, tap, modern jazz and acrobatics are fun, and support children in reaching their potential in a safe, welcoming environment.  

​

What We Offer

We follow the British Theatre Dance Association for our programme of study and exams. BTDA examinations are accredited to the Council for Dance Education and Training. Some examinations carry credit points in the Qualifications and Credit Framework. Higher level exams are considered equal to GCSEs and A Levels, carrying UCAS points.

We feel it's important to provide our students with a variety of opportunities. Alongside exams and medal tests, students have the opportunity to take part in shows, local carnivals and performances and scholarships.

​

Above all, our passionate teachers offer a safe, supportive environment for learning and exploring dance. We support our dancers in building confidence, discipline and other life skills, and making friends and memories that they will carry with them throughout life.
