Placement and Levels of Students
Students are placed in appropriate classes according to age and experience and skill level. Dance classes are not always the same as grade levels in school. There is an end of the year evaluation taken and issued for the benefit of each student; this is based on the expertise of our faculty. The dancers best interest is always in mind, a student may not always move to the next level or stay at the same level each year.
