Placement
Placement
Level placement is at the discretion of the Company Director. Students will be placed in the level that will be the most beneficial for them. A combination of age and ability and previous dance experience will be taken into consideration. As the student progresses, ability is of the utmost importance, with age regarded as second. Children grow and advance at many different rates; therefore, they will be enrolled in the level most appropriate for them. New students may be asked to take a placement class to determine the appropriate level for them.
If you do not agree with your dancer's placement, you may discuss your concerns with the Company Director; however, the Company Director's placement decisions are final.
Our placement categories are as follows;
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6
Level 7
