About

What is Elevate

Elevate is a training space in Barcelona dedicated to lyrical, contemporary, and technical foundation, designed for dancers who truly want to deepen their evolution. It was created with the intention of offering classes where technique is developed in a conscious, progressive, and effective way, respecting individual processes and understanding that each body and each journey have their own rhythm.

Why choose Elevate

Avoid pressure, encourage curiosity and enjoyment
Elevate, we are committed to intelligent teaching: clear, structured, and focused on building a solid foundation that allows dancers to grow with confidence and security. We aim to demonstrate that it is possible to train technical styles in depth without losing dynamics, motivation, and connection with movement. Each class is designed to support the dancer’s real progress and help them move forward in a sustainable way.

At Elevate, we believe in training based on awareness, respect, and individual evolution. Our values come from the idea that technique is a tool for growth, not a demand that limits. We are committed to progressive learning, where each dancer can develop their potential without comparisons, understanding that each process is unique.

We stand for discipline from a healthy place, combining high standards and care to create a safe environment where making mistakes is also part of the journey. Elevate seeks to balance technical precision with personal expression, encouraging honest, dynamic dance in constant transformation.

Beyond the class, we build community: a space to share, inspire, and grow together through respect and a shared passion for movement.

At Elevate you train with a professional team committed to your real evolution, in a safe and human environment. Here you don’t just take classes: you learn from different perspectives thanks to the presence of leading national and international professionals within the labs, enriching your training and helping you grow with a solid foundation and a broader vision of dance.

Elevate is evolution, awareness, and a passion for learning.

That’s how Elevate was born

In 2020, after returning from New York, Andrea opened her first Open Classes in a small room in her neighborhood. These two-hour contemporary dance workshops were designed as a space for exploration and in-depth technical study. Initially, they were small groups of three or four people.

What began as a personal artistic need grew organically into a strong community.

Shortly after, she launched the Technical Foundation classes, an innovative concept at the time within the open class format in Barcelona. In a context where this type of structure was not yet widespread, especially in technical dance, Andrea was one of the first to commit to opening regular and accessible spaces dedicated exclusively to technical work.

Over the years, the project took shape, solidifying its methodology and identity. And in 2025, Elevate Dance Space was officially born as a brand: the natural evolution of a process that had been developing since 2020.

Today, Elevate represents the culmination of its entire trajectory: international training, technical rigor, artistic research, pedagogical experience, and a clear vision of how dance should be experienced—with professionalism, depth, and enjoyment.
