Our Junior level is for our more serious dancers. They will invest a lot of time and effort in this level. They will get to focus on the classes that fit their personality and the times that work with their schedule! Class placement is at the sole decision of the directors. A student will not advance to the next level until mastering the technique and terminology of the present level.

Your child will be able to showcase what they have learned throughout the year at our end of the year recital.
