Frequently Ask Questions
Why didn’t my dancer change levels for next season?
Unlike regular school, dancers often study at the same level classes/styles for 1-3 years. They spend the first year learning the curriculum at what is called a “novice level”, they then progress to “mastering the level”. Dancers who progress in this manner become more proficient at all aspects of the dance curriculum and the benefits also include building confidence, strength, poise, and technique.
