The ELITE of Elite

Is your child passionate about dance and ready to take their training to the next level?

If they’re eager to push their skill set, perform multiple times a year, and work towards both national and international success, the Elite Competition Team could be the perfect next step.

At Elite, we’re proud that our team is made up of homegrown talent. Every dancer on our team trains exclusively within our academy, ensuring consistency in the high-quality training we provide across all areas of dance. Our team isn’t just built on technique, it’s built on friendship, shared passion, loyalty, and team spirit.

We look for dancers who are driven, hardworking, and excited to grow. While we hold high standards, we foster a supportive environment where every child is encouraged to work hard and enjoy the journey of success alongside their teammates.

The Elite Competition Team is more than just a group of dancers, it’s a dynamic force of over 60 committed performers. Dancers selected for the team are expected to train in multiple classes per week to maintain the technique, strength, and versatility required at this level.

Our team has consistently demonstrated their excellence on national stages, and most recently, representing Team England at the 2025 Dance World Cup and becoming World Championship finalists in New York.

We attribute our success to the unwavering dedication and loyalty of our dancers. At Elite, we believe that excellence is earned, not given. That’s why we require 100% commitment from all team members — ensuring that every dancer upholds the standard of professionalism that comes with being part of Team Elite.
