3) Ages 6-8
4) Ages 6-9 (Pre-Professional) - Students are recommended for this level.
Our Upper School Students, 9 years old and up, are placed based on the execution of proper technique, maturity and ability to apply corrections. We use the FREE trial class to determine placement of all dancers.
Are parents allowed to observe classes?
Obviously a parent’s love and support is imperative in a child’s development and we also know that our parents want to participate in and see all the fun. However, during our regular dance classes, parents are not allowed to observe classes.
