Level 1

EDSA's Level 2 classes are designed to focus on body alignment and technique and prepare students to start taking corrections. This class consists of 30-40 minutes of Ballet (stretching, barre, center and across the floor), 15-20 minutes of Tap, and 5 minutes of free dance time.

Level 3

(Ages Vary)
Our Level 3 class is a combination of Ballet, Tap, and Jazz. The Ballet portion of class is usually 40 minutes long, Tap is 15-20 minutes, and Jazz is 15-20 minutes. The emphasis in Level 3 is on Ballet, as we believe a strong Ballet base will make our dancers better in other styles.

Level 4 and up

At this point, each class will be based on age, technique, and discipline. Classes are taken more serious, and students should be appyling corrections each week. Students will remain in a Level for at least 3 years and will continue to stay until perfected. Advancement is the decision of the instructor, not the child or parent.
