About Us Dance Classes Pilates Relevé

Relevé
is a Contemporary Dance Company comprised of local talent between the ages of 12 - 20.  For the past 4 years, this company has toured the midwest performing, competing, and entertaining audiences with classical ballet, modern, jazz, tap, and hip hop pieces. 

Under the Artistic Direction of Leslie Nolte, Relevé has developed into the basis of what will someday become a national touring ensemble. 

Relevé has earned a reputation for creating innovative and inspiring choreography performed by hard working and dedicated dancers who receive constant praise for their professionalism, technique, and obvious love of dance.

Numerous awards have been bestowed upon this company for individual effort, group pieces, and the choreography of Leslie Nolte, Amanda Schams, Colleen DeRosa, Greta Off (Jones), and Emily Riahi.  

Additionally, Relevé members are fortunate to work with a variety of guest choreographers and instructors from around the country who are brought to the studio each year to provide broader exposure.
