our curriculum
JUNIOR
~ 7 - 10 years old
Students develop musicality, fundamental movement, spatial awareness, expression, and the habits of focusing in class, practicing consistently, and applying feedback.
INTERMEDIATE
~ 11-14 years old
Students develop body awareness, learn to adapt movement to different styles and moods, and become more intentional with formations, performance, and feedback.
SENIOR
~ 15-18 years old
Students are challenged to dance with greater precision, energy, and emotional range while developing adaptability and the ability to confidently execute.
* Please note, students may begin in classes based on age, but they’re never limited by it. Dancers who demonstrate readiness may advance to the next level sooner based on their instructors’ discretion.
