Team placement is decided on experience primarily. Age is used as a guideline as each dancer will learn and mature at a different pace. Team placement can be adjusted or decided by the director and should not be discussed in a negative way by any student, parent or teacher.
Summer Intensive:
Our 6-week Summer Session begins July 10th, 2023
We offer a variety of classes on Monday & Tuesday evenings so our dancers still have plenty of time to enjoy family and summer.
Summer classes are required and important for serious students to continue their training, improve technique and to learn new skills. This is also a perfect time for new students to try a variety of classes and to meet new friends and new instructors.
