Class Placement and Scheduling:
Students are placed in class levels based on their skill level, along with their age. Class level for an individual student will be determined by the instructor. Class registration will be held in August for the upcoming school year. We will continue to accept new students through the month of January. Because class placement is vital to our dancers’ success, students with experience must be placed by our staff. For correct placement of a student, it is important to attend Fall Class Registration in person (students accompanied by a Parent).
