Class Levels & Fees

Beginner

Level

Classes

The Beginner Level is a half-day program that consists of 4 morning classes at approximately one hour each, with registration beginning at 7:15 am, warm-up at 7:45 am, and classes beginning at 8:00 am. Classes will conclude around noon. It will be geared primarily to ages 7 and younger with 2 or less years studio experience although true beginners of any age will be welcome.

Level Changes

Although we’ve defined levels by age and experience above we also understand that different dancers progress at different rates and may find themselves better suited at a different level after an hour or so of classes. You’ll find us to be flexible in moving students as needed (with studio teacher approval). Students moving up a level will be required to pay the difference in class fees. However, students moving down a level will not be refunded.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFO

Student Recognition

Selected Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced level dancers will receive scholarships and other recognition following the conclusion of the final class period. Their “audition” for those scholarships will literally be their participation throughout the day. Master teachers will be watching for hard workers, enthusiasm and demonstration of learned skills. The Advanced level schedule in some locations may also include an Audition Class where audition skills will be discussed and practiced.
