Class Placement & Curriculum
* Students without previous training will be advised of classes available.
* All incoming students with previous training must take a placement class at a level based on past dance experience.($15.00,1 class, $25.00 with pointe class). The instructor will then recommend the appropriate curriculum and core level.
* Students in the Children/Teen Ballet & Jazz Division must take the required minimum classes per level as stated by the instructor.
* Student's levels are re-evaluated annually. Notification of class requirements and recommendations will be sent by mail for the new year beginning in September.
* The progressive levels and lessons in the ballet division have been created to be taken simultaneously with a level above or below, in order to fully address individual student's technical needs.
* The syllabus of levels 4 and up are presented over a 2 year period. Students will commence to the next level on an individual basis depending of the mastery of technical skills at their current core level.
* Students are encouraged to take as many classes as possible for maximum progress. As with all Fine Arts, daily practice is recommended. Students considering a career in dance must take as many daily classes as possible.
