Level Advancement

Preschool and kindergarten classes are assigned by age and grade. After that, classes are by skill level, beginning with level 1. There are skill level requirements for each level. The evaluations for each level advancement are based exclusively on Floor skills. Each skill must be executed consistently and passed off in good form, in that level, before your child can advance to the next level. This does not necessarily mean that they will be switching to a different class.
