Ages 10-12
This division serves students ages 10 through 12, with two levels to ensure proper pacing and challenge:
Level B – For students who are new to dance or new to a specific style
Level A – For returning dancers or those with a solid foundation in technique. Evaluation and placement required.
This thoughtful structure helps each dancer feel successful while progressing at the pace that’s right for them.
