MORE ABOUT US

As a school we offer a range of classes including: Ballet, Street Dance, Jazz, Tap, Musical Theatre, Lyrical, Limbering & Conditioning and Acro. We focus a lot on technique and using different styles to bring out our students personalities through their movement. This is all achieved with the help of our passionate teaching staff - Rae, Charley, Hayley & Priya.

​

The school is owned and run by Rae Elias, who has spent her life training and performing. Growing up, Rae focused solely on acting and singing, with television and voiceover work. When Rae was 17, she drew her focus towards dancing and attended Liberatus School of Performing Arts. There she received top quality, comprehensive training in ballet, jazz, contemporary, commercial, tap, modern, singing and drama. The training she received was a reflection on her incredibly talented teachers, including: Lisa Aldridge (ex classical dancer and international ballet examiner) and Voyd (Jazz dancer and choreographer who created the role of Volta in Starlight Express). Elias Performing Arts was originally owned by Rae's phenomenal ballet teacher, Lisa Aldridge. Lisa has been an inspiration for Rae both as her teacher and as her mentor. Rae's main passion is to share her love for the performing arts, encouraging students to build their confidence and creativity as performers.
