Level Advancement

Students may be advanced to a higher level each year based on attaining certain skill levels.  Although students may have mastered certain steps or combinations, our goal is to ensure the technique and strength used in performing these steps is mastered before the student progresses to the next level.  Correct technique is important to ensure that the student is strong enough to meet the demands of the next level of curriculum.  Additionally, regular attendance in classes will have an impact on a student's progression to the next level.  Any questions about progression should be directed to Ms. Lisa or Ms. Kelly.
