Level 1

• great fit for Discovery Program’s 4-5 yr class graduates and first-time dancers with no previous dance experience
• class enrollment is by age
• dancers usually stay in each age group for 2-3 years/seasons before advancing into the next age group/level
• students usually take two to three classes per week
• there are no prerequisites to enroll in Level 1 classes
• each class meets once per week but dancers can enroll in multiple classes per week if interested.
• dancers will learn the foundations of dance, become familiar with learning choreography, and learn to express themselves through a guided dance class
• when ready, level progression would be one of two paths; a more recreational route of Pre-Teen classes or a more committed route of Level 2 classes
