Director's Message
EV Elites started with the dream of providing a safe space for youths to discover themselves through dance. As an individual, I believe that who we are as humans will define who we are as dancers. Ensuring that the youths who join our family develop the essential life-skills to propel them towards their goals will always be the priority.
Through the EV Elites Programme, youths will undergo foundation training, be exposed to different genres, as well as instructors, and have the chance to explore their own individuality. All these in hope of building a foundation that sets their course for their future in dance once they complete the programme.
Through EV Elites, another dream was to be able to provide launchpads for youths to venture into different fields of dance with the proper guidance and at the right time. Be it a passion to perform, teach, manage or choreograph one day, anything can be achieved if an individual is able to safely explore with nurturing mentors and most importantly a platform to do so.
As a growing dancer, I believe that no matter where we are in our journey we should always give whatever we can and extend a helping hand to pull each other upwards. I hope that through EV Elites I am able to do just that for the betterment of the youths that do join us.

Testimonials
"The Elites Programme taught me various dance skills and genres that have made me grow in versatility as a dancer. As a captain of my batch, I was taught to hone my leadership skills by being accountable to tasks given, juggling commitments and practicing patience, all while working closely with the team."
"The Elites Programme is a great place to find growth in dance, but also a place where meaningful friendships are formed.
This programme gave me opportunities to join major dance competitions and participate in commercial dance gigs. Some projects were challenging, but it strengthened me as a leader and encouraged the team to stand as one unit. The journey in the Elites Programme is something that I've truly always yearned for, and it is truly priceless."
“The Elites Programme helped me grow as a dancer, as well as a person too. The opportunities the programme provides to youths like me and my batch-mates really encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself in improving my skills in dance.
Additionally, it helped a whole lot in my leadership skills. My growth is prominent because of the EV Elites Programme.
