Programs and teams at Uplift

Beyond our weekly classes, Uplift offers specialized programs and teams for students who want to take their training to the next level — from performance and competition to immersive summer experiences.

Competition & Performances

  • Competitive Dance & Performance Teams

    Our audition-based dance teams give dedicated students the chance to train intensively, perform throughout the season and compete at regional events. Team members build technical excellence, artistry, teamwork and stage presence, representing Uplift with pride at competitions, community events and our annual recital.

    Competitive Dance & Performance Teams

  • Performance Opportunities

    Performance is a vital part of every dancer's journey at Uplift. Students showcase their talents through our annual recital (with Saturday and Sunday programs), community events and competitive performances — experiences that build confidence, stage presence and a real sense of accomplishment.

Programs & Workshops

  • Aerial Arts Program

    Uplift is the only studio in Southern Vermont and New Hampshire offering a full aerial arts program. Students train on aerial silks and lyra under instructors from the New England Center for Circus Arts, progressing safely from first climb to advanced sequences — building remarkable strength, flexibility, confidence and artistry.

  • Workshops & Mini-Sessions

    Throughout the year, Uplift offers short-run workshops, dance intensives and seasonal mini-sessions — like our popular five-week Stick Season session and combo classes — a low-commitment way to try a new style, sharpen a skill, or get a first taste of Uplift before enrolling for the full season.
