Beginner EXPerience Levels 1 & 2
The Beginner EXPierence comprises our Foundation Program, catering to levels 1 and 2. It provides a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the specific dance discipline, thereby serving as an ideal choice for those who are entirely new to the art form. In line with our commitment to offering a rigorous and stimulating dance education, our Foundation Program is designed to lay a solid groundwork for the technical and artistic skills necessary for further progression in dance. Our experienced faculty delivers training that covers both theoretical and practical aspects, ensuring a well-rounded dance education for our students. By the end of the Beginner EXPierence program, our students will have gained a strong foundational understanding of the dance discipline and will be well-equipped to proceed to the next level of their dance education.
Beginner EXPerience Levels 1 & 2 Schedule
We would like to emphasize that while age is a guide for placement level, our focus remains on ensuring that each student is placed in the appropriate level that aligns with their skill and experience. Therefore, if a student has more or less experience, we may recommend a placement level that does not necessarily coincide with their age limit. We understand that each student is unique, and we strive to create a learning environment that recognizes and caters to their individual needs. Our typical timeframe for a student at the Beginner EXPierence level is 2-3 years.

Our class schedule is subject to change. We reserve the right to cancel a class if the minimum enrollment is not met. As a courtesy to the teacher, we ask that parents call to report a dancer's absences to our Admin team. Make-Up classes are ONLY used when a Faculty Member has an emergency or a prior engagement that either couldn't be rescheduled or a substitute could be present. If a Make-up is to happen communication with the specific class will happen. Make-up classes ARE NOT for when a dancer is absent.
