| HOW DO I KNOW WHICH CLASS TO TAKE? |
|
The first class taken is an evaluation to place the student properly. (If it is your first time at the studio, we recommend taking a level that is for your age group if you are not a beginner for the following reasons; each studio may have different criteria for each level, you may be unfamiliar with a teacher's style, classes may be harder than what you are accustomed to and you might wish to acclimate yourself to new surroundings. If you haven't danced in many years, you'll want to reintroduce your body and muscles slowly. Remember, if you've chosen a class that is not best for you, we will happily switch you to another class. Levels for Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Modern are determined based upon instructor's evaluations of students technique Here is what we recommend Ages 2-3, must be potty trainedMoving Together – Designed for the active toddler not ready to participate in a class by themselves.Class includes warm-ups, creative movements, songs, rhythm instruments and more.Adults must participate; dress in comfortable clothing.
