Class Info
This page provides information on how we place & advance students,
and a general class description according to age group.
Please review this page prior to selecting classes on our schedule.
Placement
We may hold placement classes for students age 7+ who come to us with two or more years experience. This ensures that we are placing students into classes that suit their potential.
Students over the age of 7 with less than two years experience will be placed by age first. Students who then demonstrate a committed interest through: consistent and proper attire, professional appearance (neat), near-perfect attendance, focus, and recalling dance terms and choreography from week to week will be challenged more during class as a first step toward advancement.
Advancement is by invitation only, and advancement means the student will be taking on more classes with greater expectations and responsibilities, and a revised schedule, tuition, and fees.
We do not anticipate advancing any beginner student prior to the end of the second or third year, and do not rule out advancing a student at the end of their first or second year.
Each student will have many opportunities to be properly challenged in class.
Once a class schedule is established, entering a more advanced class or level is by invitation only.
If a student is invited to enter a more advanced class or level and accepts, then it is understood that the student is agreeing to taking on more classes with greater expectations & responsibilities, and that the family is agreeing to a revised class schedule, fees, and/or tuition.
We will talk to the parent(s) first, disclose the new schedule, fees and/or tuition, and answer any questions. Then we will ask that family to have their own meeting at home to talk about the new expectations, responsibilities, and revisions to the class schedule, fees, and/or tuition before saying yes to the invitation.
We do not advertise invitations inside the studio or on social media, which gives each family a chance to politely opt out of the invitation, without feeling pressure, should the timing not be right.
Advancement
The following is a general class description for each age group listed, and does not go into the levels offered within each age group. We will talk with each family about levels on an individual basis so that we can place each student based on their goals as well as their current skills.
PLEASE NOTE: We are raising funds to help us grow so that we may offer additional opportunities such as acro dance and hip hop classes, a dedicated dance program for homeschoolers and virtual students, Saturday workshops, a rehearsal space, and more classes for adults with dance experience.

Adults in dance classes have prior dance experience (any genre, including ballroom) and although they may not be advanced dancers, they possess fundamental dance skills. This is a class where the adult dancer can practice and refine what has already been learned while being
comfortably challenged and inspired to improve.
The dance styles for this class will rotate between ballet, tap, jazz (including latin jazz), and elements of modern dance.
All dance classes for our adults include flexibility training and cardiovascular conditioning, and are lead by certified fitness and dance instructors who know the best methods for stretching and cardiovascular conditioning for all ages.
If you are not sure if you fall into this category just because it's been a while since you danced, please email us. We want to get as many adults coming back to dance as possible, and do not want you to think you won't do well! These classes are for you!
If you are a beginner adult student, please email us! We have a plan for you that is affordable and will get you what you need to reach your goals! We also offer online training for beginners who feel that a more personalized plan would be better for them!
