Requirements for the Core Training Program…

---

Class Placement: We strive to teach all classes to a well-balanced group of dancers. Students will be placed in classes according to their experience and level as a dancer. Changes are made only upon recommendation of the instructor. New students will be evaluated during the first few classes to assure proper placement. Students should expect to remain in a class level for at least three years. Students need to learn new skills and master old skills prior to advancement.

Core Training Program

This dance program is for the dedicated dancer wishing to receive more intense training in Ballet and Jazz. Dancers will receive personal corrections and attention from our professional and qualified staff. Dancers that participate in this program are dedicated, attentive, motivated and excited about the art of dance and wish to pursue a quality dance background. This program is for dancers who want to build strength, agility, precision and self confidence through the art of dance. The focus of “core” training is to prepare students for professional or educational dance in the future.

Dancers MUST have steady attendance in order to benefit from this program. Please see the Guidelines & Policies sheet for attendance and dress code requirements. Pointe classes will be offered with instructor approval only.
