Where Dancers Belong, Believe, and Shine: The Heart of BElevé Dance Company
Something special happens when a dancer walks through the door at BElevé Dance Company. Confidence grows, friendships form, and dancers discover how much they are capable of—one class, one goal, and one unforgettable memory at a time.
“We want every dancer to feel seen, supported, and celebrated,” shares Angela Beery, Founder and Creative Director of BElevé Dance Company. “Whether a dancer is two years old and taking their first class or an accomplished performer dreaming of dancing professionally, we want them to know there is a place for them here.”
Opportunity Awaits
Located at 1340 N. 66th Street, BElevé’s four professional studios–built with sprung Marley flooring–provide an exceptional space for year-round training. Classes include ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary, musical theater, and acro for dancers. Specialized programs are available to help dancers succeed, including classes like Elevated Mindset, Nutrition for Dancers, and Pilates.
BElevé’s extraordinary teaching staff brings passion and specialized expertise while giving their whole heart to each dancer.
“Our teachers are one of the greatest gifts of BElevé,” Angela says. “They challenge our dancers, believe in them, and care deeply about their growth.”
Remarkable Accomplishments
BElevé is grateful to be named the Lincoln Choice Award winner for Best Cheer & Dance Program for the third consecutive year, which is especially meaningful as the studio celebrates its third year in business.
“This honor celebrates the incredible dancers, supportive families, and dedicated staff who make BElevé such a beautiful place to dance, grow, and belong,” Angela shares.
The Company at BElevé, the studio’s competitive dance team, includes 60 dancers ages four to 18. Throughout the season, the team earned top overall placements, judges’ choice honors, choreography awards, and scholarships. The Company’s exceptional overall scores earned prestigious Top Studio honors at competitions including Artists Simply Human, The Movement, and Kids Artistic Revue.
For the dancers, the national competition is a highlight of each season. It’s a culmination of the talent, artistry, and dedication each one has put into the competitive year.
The Company at BElevé has earned top overall honors and national recognition across a wide range of dance styles.
BElevé is also incredibly proud to celebrate two prestigious national title winners. Saige Harms is a National NRG Prodigy winner, and Paxton Beery is a National ElectroTap title winner. Their titles gave them the opportunity to travel with NRG, assist its faculty, and inspire dancers across the country.
“To have two national title winners representing BElevé is an incredible honor,” Angela says. “We are so proud of Saige and Paxton and all they have accomplished.”
The Magic of Elite Production
A highlight of BElevé’s competitive season is the Elite Production Team, a special collaboration showcasing many of BElevé’s outstanding competitive dancers.
This season, 40 dancers brought “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” to life in a thrilling 10-minute production. Musical theater, tap, jazz, pointe, and lyrical dance blended with elaborate props, theatrics, and incredible storytelling created an unforgettable theatrical experience.
“Willy Wonka” earned top overall honors throughout the season and high praise from judges for its performance excellence.
Making Dance Memories
At BElevé, dance extends beyond classes and performances. Celebrations, themed weeks, traditions, and special events create joy, laughter, friendship, and lasting memories.
Beloved recital traditions include the annual BElevé Bear event and a special photo meet-and-greet with the main characters from the annual ballet. “We want dancers to remember how dance made them feel,” Angela shares. “The performances are magical, but so are the friendships, laughter, and memories made along the way.”
A Spectacular Celebration
BElevé’s annual recital is the ultimate celebration of a season filled with growth, passion, and unforgettable memories.
Dancers from ages two through high school take the stage to showcase their progress and joy in dance. Act I features BElevé’s annual ballet production. This year, “Beauty and the Beast” came to life through stunning dancing, theatrical storytelling, and spectacular stage moments.
Act II celebrates the versatility and excellence of BElevé dancers through lyrical, contemporary, tap, jazz, and hip-hop, along with the Elite Production Team’s show-stopping “Willy Wonka” production.
“There is nothing like seeing dancers step onto the stage and realizing how much they have accomplished,” Angela says. “The recital is the most magical part of our year.”

The Beery Legacy Scholarships recognize excellence in performance, versatility, and artistry while celebrating the positive heart of BElevé.
The Giving Heart Award honors a BElevé supporter whose dedication, generosity, and behind-the-scenes support help make BElevé such a special place.
