Sarah Krueger

Owner, Artistic Director, Instructor
Sarah began her dance training at the age of 5 in her hometown of Baraboo Wisconsin. Under the direction of Penny Imray, she discovered her love and passion for teaching while in High School when she was given the opportunity to apprentice and instruct. As a young dancer, Sarah studied from many notable dancers and educators from around the country in her travels to competitions and conventions. After graduating high school, she continued to teach at various dance studios and dance teams, while pursuing her undergraduate degree. Sarah received her BA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007 and soon opened Elevation Dance Academy in 2008. Miss Sarah loves and appreciates the opportunity to help students build confidence and a love of the arts through dance.

Nicole Nelson

Nicole values a global mindset, hard work ethic, and a sense of exploration in her students. Her pursuit of dance and sense of adventure have taken her beyond the Madison area and even the U.S. to cities such as Florence, Italy, and Buenos Aires, Argentina to participate in shows, workshops, and conventions.  Her dance experience, however, began with musical theater, where she discovered her love of the arts, and dance in particular. She is excited to see her students on the stage, where her love of dance originally flourished.
