CLASS ADVANCEMENT
Advancement may occur at any time, but on average students are expected to remain in a level for a minimum of one year. Your child may not be promoted every year. Our primary concern is that a student be placed in a level that is appropriate to his or her skill level and physical strength. If the child is promoted too soon, then he or she will miss some very valuable training. These children also struggle in the next level, which is unnecessary and could result in injury. A student who carefully develops his or her technique early in the curriculum will find advancement in later years to be smoother and more rewarding.
BASIC COMBINATION CLASS
For beginning students 3-8 years of age. This 45 minute class combines tap and ballet, and is designed to give the student a chance to explore the basics of each. It will encourage your child’s creative spirit, introduce rhythm, and begin to foster the love of music and dance.
