Class Prerequisites:
Moves Dance Studio’s curriculum is designed very similar to an academic school year. Our classes start at the end of August and go through the beginning of June. Our dance school year is brought to a close with an annual dance production (recital). Our curriculum is progressive and specific. Once a student has finished one year in a particular class level they will progress to the next step in the dance class educational process. Please note: In certain instances, generally in the 12 and up class division, a student may need to stay in a certain level more than one year due to the dynamics of the curriculum structure.
Level I Classes: No previous experience necessary.
Level II Classes: (beginning/intermediate) One to two years of previous training or equivalent skill level.
Level III Classes: (Intermediate) Three to four years of previous training or equivalent skill level.
Level III-IV Classes: Five to six years of previous training or equivalent skill level.
Level V / Advanced: More than six years of extended training or equivalent skill level.
Hip Hop II: Jazz or Hip Hop I.
Lyrical: Ballet I and II and/or Jazz I and II.
