DCC Elevate Program
DCC Elevate program
DCC Elevate is an extension of DC Dance LA studio where a select group of dancers will elevate their dance training, artistry, and well being in a pre-professional environment.
Under the direction of Diane Collins and Tess Hewlett, our dancers are challenged to succeed not only as performers, but individuals. DC philosophy of instilling integrity, confidence, work ethic and camaraderie is the foundation to becoming successful in life. We strive daily to accomplish this in a nurturing and family-oriented environment, where our dancers can express themselves freely in a safe space. This invitation only program is offered to dancers who show desire, ability, grit, commitment and passion in their dance practice. Auditioned yearly. DCC Elevate program 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.
