be placed into respective classes depending on age, ability and previous
training at the discretion of the
faculty. We strongly encourage students to take at least two classes to
broaden their dance abilities and discover their interest and talents.

children develop poise,
grace, and balance. Students will progress to pointe with teacher’s
guidance and approval.

must have this class to progress to pointe. This class will not have a
