With different techniques offered each class, you can always drop in, every class has a fresh start!

Determining your Dace Level
Taking dance lessons is an organic process in which progression can continue to develop. There is no end date. If you want to continue learning, it is important to take classes at the level that suits you.
The learning curve follows a natural process that is different for each student. Aspects in which you can discover your talents or challenges include rhythm, coordination, balance, learning to lead or follow. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses and works on their areas of focus. Students learn at their own pace and will develop based on their own abilities and preferences, with teachers guiding and supporting them in their growth.
The level of a course is an indication of the lesson pace and entertainment factor.
Determining the dance level at which you should dance can depend on various factors, such as your experience, technique, style, dance skills and what you experience as pleasurable. (Do you want to be challenged in class or do you want to focus on a pleasant class with social interaction?)
When determining your level, for example, we look at your dance background and how much experience you have with dancing. If you are new to our dance school, we may ask you to do a short audition, during which we can observe and evaluate your dance skills. Based on this, we can advise you on which level is best for you.
If you have been dancing at our dance school for a while, we can assess your level based on your performances and the feedback you receive from the teachers. Sometimes you may start in a certain level, but later move up to a higher level because you have improved your dance skills.
If you want to know if you are on track, you can always ask your teacher for feedback.
