Seniors of Elevate

Presenting to you our senior girls of Elevate (not full attendance) 🥰.

SIDC over the weekend. Finally back on-stage after 3 years. Glad to be back in the theatre with big stage, lights and audience. This year, more senior girls i.e. 18-30 years old, decided to participate in the competition despite their busy full time work & school. It’s not an easy feat but we did it. Winning is never my core for comps but the passion & love for stage is. My heart is definitely full seeing my dancers rocking the stage. Thank you all students, parents, husbands, bfs for believing in Elevate & the support past 10 years & more. We’ll take dance beyond the stage!!

COVID-19 Safe Management Measures

❗ [updated 10 October 2021]

Additional Precautions

In addition to the announced updated Health Protocol 1-2-3, and mainly to better protect our unvaccinated young students, we are adding this precaution for now.

Please do NOT come for class if unwell or, if students or anyone from the same household tested ART/PCR positive or, HRW for a period of 7 days. Please always check with us & only return for classes after being discharged or ended the isolation period.

———-

❗ [updated 14 September 2021]

In-line with the government’s latest pre-emptive actions, we are pleased to inform that we will now be increasing our Rostered Routine Testing: ART test to once every 7 days to further safeguard our students & staffs.

Please do NOT come for class if unwell or if students or anyone from the same household are under Isolation Order, Health Risk Warnings (HRW), Health Risk Alerts (HRA), Quarantine Order (QA), Leave of Absence (LOA) or Stay-Home Notice (SHN).

———-

❗ [updated 02 September 2021]

As Singapore gradually relaxes some measures, we will now be removing temperature checks. However, all other measures such as sanitise/wash hands, Mask-ON & check-in SafeEntry TraceTogether are still compulsory in our school.

On a side note, all our teachers & administrative staffs are fully vaccinated. We have & are still implementing the ART test for our staffs every 2-weeks to keep safe; so far we’re good. Also, ALL our eligible students (>age12) are now fully vaccinated.

———-

❗ [updated 21 July 2021]

Please adhere to our Safe Management Measures as below:

Please exercise caution and note that all prevailing safe management measures apply:
🔺Sanitise/wash hands before & after class.
🔺Mask-on at all times. Refrain from touching face. (No face shield allowed).
🔺Maintain 1-2m safe distance. 3m in studio. Please also refrain from intermingling while waiting at the lobby.

🔹Please only arrive 5mins before class and wait at the lobby on arrival, not reception area. Please wait for the teacher/admin to allow students in.
🔹Temperature will be checked.
🔹1 student, 1 parent only.
🔹Only staff & students are allowed in school’s premises. Parents, please wait at the lobby or if crowded, at the carpark/cafe downstairs.
🔹Check-in SafeEntry TraceTogether App/token for all students and parents.
🔹Do not attend class if unwell, OR if student or any same household members are under Leave of Absence (LOA), Approved Absence (AA), Stay-Home Notice (SHN) or Quarantine Order (QO), OR is required to undergo mandatory testing due to a COVID-19 cluster or close contacts and has yet to receive the test result.
🔹Bring own water bottle & disinfecting wipes to wipe down.

🔸Foundation 1&2 classes, we understand that parents will want to watch your children due to their young age. Hence, we are allowing brief glance through the studio’s glass door after class has started, but please refrain from standing in the reception. Please also note that only 1 parent is allowed at any one time, and to take turns.

On our side: To better protect our staff and students, we are pleased to inform you that we will be participating in the Rostered Routine Testing – Fast and Easy Testing (FET) regime i.e. every 2 weeks from now.

We seek your understanding and cooperation in our Safe Management Measures against the COVID-19 fight.

Thank you.

“Breaking Free” – A Video Production Showcase 2020

An extensive video production and filming event that involved every student and dancer in the entire school as part of our extension programme. At Elevate, we strongly believe in a holistic and comprehensive curriculum.

Actual filming was done on both Saturday & Sunday, 05th & 06th December 2020, with 30 hours in total. Although, it was challenging due to Covid-19 restriction while observing all safety management measures, we managed to pull through with everyone’s cooperation and understanding. It was indeed exhausting, but definitely a fulfilling and rewarding event/project.

Hope you’ll enjoy this!

Hong Kong Challenge Cup Dance Competition (Video Filming) – December 2020. Congratulations to all students who participated despite all difficulties, challenges and a roller coaster year. It is a year where we didn’t manage to travel overseas for competitions, but instead year 2020 has been a year of online competitions for the dance/ballet community.

Elevate sent in 2 groups of dances of different age groups; one in Lyrical style (age 16-19) and the other in Choreography Fusion (age 20-29). Both groups are fully trained classical ballet students and they came back with Bronze Awards. Well Done to all students! Good work! And thank you to the choreographers/teachers, Ms Cheryl Tan and Ms Joyce Lim for your hard work and fantastic choreography. More pictures here.
