Levels 1-5 have been developed for dancers over the age of fiive, as they progress in their execution of art and dance.  Beginners and younger students will start in level one. Their teacher will then direct them to level two as they are ready to move to the next level of technique and choreography.

Dancers with a moderate amount of dance experience will start in level two, and will progress to level three when ready, etc.

As the studio and its dancers develop, more levels will be created as to allow each dancer to progress at his or her own pace.

All children under the age of five are required to take a combo class.  This is for the benefit of the children, as they absorb so much more information in small doses.
