AKA Level Placements

Our levels may not coincide with other studios. To compare levels, it is important to look at the curriculum, not the number of years of training. Initial student evaluation involves determining a student’s present ability (in light of previous dance experience), individual skill, and muscle development.

New students who would like to register for a class above our beginning levels should take our placement exam. Please contact the studio for more information about our placement exam.
