At a dance school, every student works to become the best dancer they can be. While classes may move together to the next level, each student is assessed individually in order to ensure they have the skills and knowledge needed to progress. There may be times when students need to spend more than one year at a level to continue their development. In some cases, students who demonstrate advanced knowledge or ability may be invited to move up to the next level. The evaluation process considers a variety of factors, such as age, coordination, previous experience, musicality, natural ability, physical endurance and maturity in accepting feedback. By focusing on helping each student reach their potential, a dance school is a great place to grow and learn.
