DCC Elevate Training Program
INTRODUCING the DCC Elevate program!!
DCC Elevate is the newest extension of DC Dance LA studio, where a select group of dancers will elevate their dance training, artistry, and well being.
Under the direction of Diane Collins and Tess Hewlett, our dancers are challenged to succeed not only as performers, but individuals as well. DC philosophy of instilling integrity, confidence, work ethic and camaraderie is the foundation to becoming successful later in life after dance. We strive daily to accomplish this in a nurturing and family-oriented environment, where our dancers can express themselves freely in a safe environment.
We are so excited for the 2022-23 season!

DCC Elevate is designed to give professional caliber performing opportunities to our inspiring dancers. DC trainees will be given the unique opportunity of working in a professional environment with a select group of dancers.
Guest teachers and choreographers are an integral part of this program, as we believe in diversifying dancers' educations to help them reach their peak potential.
This invitation only program is offered to a small select group of dancers who show desire, ability, grit, commitment and passion in their dance practice.
DC aims to provide every tool necessary, including the most relevant, experienced, and exceptional faculty, along with our state of the art facility, to succeed as a professional in the dance world or at the university level.
The DC Elevate program will participate in showcases, on camera work, acting, industry opportunities, auditions, and body, nutrition, and mind wellness workshops all to elevate artistry and provide new opportunities in dance.
