Levels Elite is a group of experienced dancers age 6 and up. They attend dance competitions in Northeast PA/NJ in both recreational and competitive levels 3-4 times each year. They have performed at community events such as American Cancer Society Live Telethon and Pocono Hospice Live Telethon to raise money for a good cause as well as The West End Community Fair. They also have had the opportunity to attend dance conventions such as Beyond The Stars and Backstage Conventions. Some of our dancers have also performed at Talent America in NYC and had the opportunity to take professional dance classes at Broadway Dance Center. They have also attended Beyond The Stars National Dance Competition at Kalahari and plan to be back to Kalahari in 2024 to attend another Nationals Dance Competition! They have received countless awards the passed 6 years from various competitions. They also take part in an exclusive competition-only dance photo shoot each Fall. Being on Levels Elite is an opportunity we give to all dancers at any level whether its your first year competing or your tenth year. We can find the right team for you!
