To be considered for enrollment in Advanced Placement Classes, dancers must first have mastery of required technique at the intermediate level. Dancers must have complete knowledge and proper execution of all foundational technique/terms as well as consistent feet/arm positions, turn-out and alignment.

Our Advanced Placement Dance Classes are designed for experienced dancers who have demonstrated a high level of technical skill, form, and performance quality. Placement into these classes is determined through a formal assessment process conducted by our experienced instructors. Dancers currently enrolled in our program have been evaluated by our teaching staff throughout the year. Those who meet the standards for advanced placement will receive a direct invitation to join the class.
