*Placement and Levels of Students*
Students are placed in appropriate classes according to age and experience and skill level. Dance classes are not always the same as grade levels in school. There is an end of the year evaluation taken and issued for the benefit of each student; this is based on the expertise of our faculty. The dancers best interest is always in mind, a student may not always move to the next level or stay at the same level each year.
*OBSERVATION WEEKS*
At DANCE FORCE it is very important that you, the parent is informed of how your child is progressing. Starting in December-May we will have Observation for parents and siblings during the 1st week of every month. This is only for the last 10 min of each class.
