The Company
Established in 2021, LEVEL UP Dance Company is Saskatoon's current cutting edge performance company. After training in and returning from New York City, Presli O'Donnell was determined to make her lifelong dream of creating a Saskatchewan dance performance company a reality. She wanted to provide an opportunity for talented dancers not yet ready to hang up their dancing shoes to dance together with the most sought after choreographers around, and perform for sold out crowds, city events and a variety of functions.
Presli always felt that Saskatchewan lacked in dance opportunities after high school, and wanted to create more performance opportunities for tap, hip hop and contemporary/jazz dancers in general. Recent graduating dancers typically had to make the decision to move far away and pursue dance or take the more likely path of entering University. For many this meant giving up on elite dance opportunities that really challenged their technical and artistic skills in numerous forms of dance. Presli wants young adults to be able to do both, right here at home in Saskatchewan. Some dancers need a stepping stone into the professional dance world and some need to come back to their passion and together these talented dancers will hit the floor and wow audiences for years to come! The sky is the limit in O'Donnell's eyes. She believes the talent in this province is mind blowing and hopes to attract dancers from different cities around the province as she herself will be commuting to Saskatoon.
LEVEL UP Dance Company will be the inspiration for future generations of Saskatchewan dancers. These are the dancers who didn't just dance, they lived it, breathed it, loved it and still do! The competition has ended and now united they will inspire and challenge each other as a team of dancers 18 and older. It's time to get up on that stage and LEVEL UP!
