Dancers should enroll in levels appropriate to their age and abilities. If dancers are not sure what level to enroll in that should speak with the artistic director. The dancer’s class placement may be adjusted at the discretion of the instructor. Although it is not a requirement of all classes, we strongly recommend dancers enroll in a ballet technique class to develop an understanding of the basic principles of all dance forms.
