Elevation Dance Refinery states that it is committed to elevating passion and refining dance technique in girls and boys of all levels, ages 2–18, and that it is a recreational studio that also offers an elite training program, performance teams, and competition teams for dancers who want more than one or two classes a week. The studio notes that it creates a fun, friendly learning environment for all dancers, that everyone is welcome, and that it is a place where memories and long-term friendships are made. It is described as an extension of Meraki Dance Company, which is identified as Indy’s newest professional company under the direction and ownership of Karome Walker.

Artistic Director and Owner Karome Walker has spent over a decade as a studio director, professional choreographer, educator, and performer. Her training includes collegiate-level work in ballet, pointe, jazz, modern (Horton), contemporary, and lyrical, and she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 2010 after studying dance performance and education at Ball State University. Her choreography is noted as receiving high recognition around the Midwest area.

A testimonial from Karome Walker states, “I will push any dancer above and beyond, but they must be willing to work. Great dancers are not created over night, they are created with hard work and determination.”
