Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need previous dance experience?
Yes. This program is designed for dancers with prior ballet experience. Every new student begins with a placement class so we can recommend the level that's the best fit for their current skills.
What should my child wear for a placement class?
Please wear a leotard, tights, and ballet shoes. This helps our instructors accurately assess technique and recommend the appropriate level.
Can my child take other dance styles too?
Absolutely! Many of our ballet students also enjoy Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Contemporary, or Lyrical classes alongside their ballet training.
How does my child move to the next level?
Progression is based on each dancer's technical development, consistency, and readiness rather than age alone. Our instructors continually evaluate students and recommend advancement when they're ready.
