The studio—called Élevé Dance Lab—opened for the start of the fall competitive dance season on Sept. 2, Owner and Director Brandon Allen told Community Impact.

It’s situated at 4525 N. Stahl Park in San Antonio, near Friesenhahn Park.

Allen said the dance company began with lessons and practice held at various temporary locations throughout the summer, but the finished studio wasn’t ready until early September.

Élevé Dance Lab has two programs—the Recreational Division for more casual dancers and the Élevé Elite Competitive Team that requires placement and commitment, Allen said.

Students served range from 18 months old to 18 years old.

The recreational team can participate in a variety of activities like funk, acro and basic skill training, while the competitive team focuses on the advanced techniques of ballet, jazz, contemporary and Hip-Hop routines for recitals.


This dance company is Allen’s first as the sole owner, having taught at other studios across the San Antonio area since relocating to the city from Ohio in 2021.

Combining a mix of traditional techniques with modern, innovative dance styles, Allen said his company sticks out compared to others.
