Dance Xplosion offers Youth Classes for dancers 2-18 years old and Adult Classes for dancers 18+ years old (post High School).
YOUTH CLASSES
Fall 2011 - Spring 2012 Class Levels Guide - Organized by Years of Experience and Class Type/Genre of Dance
When students are between the ages of 2-8 yrs old, class levels are based primarily on age.
As students get older, they are divided into classes based on dance ability. The Studio Director and instructors work with parents and students to determine the appropriate classes for each dancer. Students should always be taking class at a level that is enjoyable and non-frustrating, but also challenging, educational, and inspiring.
If a student is new to Dance Xplosion she/he typically begins in a lower level and moves up as the instructors and Director deem appropriate. It is always better for a child’s self-esteem to move up rather than to be moved down. However... if moving down a level will best suit the needs of the dancer, this decision is subject to the discretion of the instructor and the Studio.
POINTE CLASSES
In order to take Pointe at Dance Xplosion you must receive instructor approval AND you must take Pointe in conjunction with a general ballet class. Everyone must receive approval, even if you have previously been on pointe at another studio. This is for the dancers' safety.
ADULT CLASSES
Most of Dance Xplosion's Adult Classes are taught at an "Open Level" which means that dancers of varying levels are encouraged to attend. Our teachers provide individual instruction during class that is appropriately challenging for each dancer. A few Adult Classes are taught at "Beginner to Intermediate Levels". The class level is noted on the Class Schedule.
