All class placements are thoughtfully determined to ensure each dancer is training in the most appropriate and beneficial environment.
​
Placement is based on a combination of skill level, prior experience, strength, technique, staff evaluation, and overall scheduling needs—not solely by age. Our goal is to place dancers where they will be both challenged and supported, allowing for proper progression, confidence building, and long-term development.
​
Acro classes are uniquely structured and are not divided strictly by age. Instead, dancers are placed based on ability, strength, flexibility, and skill progression to ensure safety and proper technique.
​
For our younger dancers, Junior-level Acro placement may vary, and we encourage families to inquire directly for proper level placement recommendations prior to registration.
