Policy for class levels:

Beginning in Pearl, we recommend Street Hip Hop 1 as well as Modern 1.

Beginning in Opal Ballet, we recommend taking 2 Ballet Classes – of the same level (ie, 2 Opal Ballet classes or 2 Aqua Ballet classes.)

To Sign Up for a Pointe class, students must be recommended for it. Also, if the student signs up for pointe, they must take 2 ballet classes.

If a student drops a dance during the school year, and wants to come back to dance in the next level, they must come in the summer to be tested in the syllabus OR take both the class level that they dropped and the next level up, they can drop the lower level in December, once the entire syllabus has been taught.
