Level 0 classes are offered for our teen/adult/senior students and are 1 hour in length or shorter. These classes are appropriate for any level mover.

Level 1 classes are offered for students ages 7 and older. Dancers who are new to a style or have had very little exposure to a style, or have had a substantial break from dancing, should take Level 1 classes. The focus is on learning the skills specific to one particular dance style. We work on the skills listed above in the Introduction section at a faster pace.

Level 2 classes are for dancers with approximately a year of experience in a particular style. These classes build on the foundation of skills cultivated in the Level 1 classes. More difficult steps are introduced, with more intricate combinations of movements, a slightly faster pace, and longer sections of choreography.

Level 3 and beyond classes are for dancers with a minimum of 2 years of experience in a particular style. Level 3+ classes simply have more of everything listed for the Level 2 classes.
