Which age class should I register for?
Our curriculum for the young dancer runs from September - May. The age of your dancer in September determines the correct class. For example, the 3 - 4 yr Combo class is for the dancer that is 3 in the fall and will most likely turn 4 before the class finishes in May. If your child is just beginning classes with us in January and has turned 4 within the last 6 months, then that dancer should still register for a 3 - 4 yr Combo. Please contact Miss Rachael for further assistance on correct class placement.
