Miss Sidney
Student Teacher
Miss Sidney has been dancing at Elevate Dance Center since age nine, and has added a new genre to her studies every year as her love for dance grows. She trains ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, lyrical, acro, contemporary, and pointe. She is also a new EDC TEAM member. Sidney is a ray of sunshine and always up for a challenge. She’s never afraid to take on a new style at the primary level- such as tap or hip hop- and grind until she quickly catches up. She is a hard worker and sets a strong example of leadership.
When Sidney is not dancing, you can find her reading a great book, traveling, or playing with her dogs. She also loves backpacking and camping with her family.
How To Be Successful In Miss Sidney’s Class
PRE-PRIMARY TAP/BALLET
Hi, Parents! You are the reason your dancers will love coming to class. Thanks so much for modeling a fantastic attitude and helping them arrive prepared! Please take your dancer to the bathroom before class, even if they say they do not have to go. Secure their hair, but leave fancy barrettes and headbands at home. (Sometimes we stand on our heads.) Hang coats and leave street shoes in the hallway. Help your dancer put on their tap shoes before class. Your dancer will line up against the wall with their ballet shoes and water bottle. Belongings can be in a small dance bag if that makes it easier for them to carry, but please leave extras- like toys- home and not in the bag. Label everything you bring into the studio if you hope to get it back. 
We love it if you arrive 5 minutes early to class, but not sooner. Once your dancer is lined up for class with an EDC staff member, please kiss and go quickly. Stay invisible to your dancer for the duration of class- it really helps them focus and creates the best learning environment. We will end class on time by passing out stickers. The teacher will bring in the next class BEFORE sending your dancer’s class into the hallway to avoid congestion. Help your dancer change back into their street shoes before heading back out into the world. Thanks!
