*** All level placements are teacher approved. New students with previous dance experience will be asked to take a placement class to determine level.  Levels having A,B, and C ensure that the students are retaining all of the training needed before advancing. Some students may only need one year at a level before approval to move to the next level. Some may need to work in that level for all three years before advancing. All decisions are at the discretion of the teacher.***
