LEVELS
At Carlisle Dance, levels are in place to make sure each dancer receives the attention that he/she requires. Ages are just a guideline. Students will be placed where they will receive the best dance education. The first two weeks are reserved for observation. The staff reserves the right to request that student change levels if they are not in the level that best suites their needs and abilities.
Preschool dance
TINY TAP: AGE 2
PRE/INTRO: PRESCHOOL, AGES 3-4
PRIMARY: KINDERGARTEN, AGES 5-6
Our main goal is for children to experience the joy of dance, enrich their skills, and learn to appreciate this art. Students are familiarized with the necessary disciplines and class etiquette.
Beginners
LEVEL 1: 1st-2nd GRADE, AGES 6-8
LEVEL 2: 2nd-5th GRADE, AGES 7-9
LEVEL 4: OLDER BEGINNERS, AGES 11+
Children are taught the technique of each style in a fun atmosphere. Emphasis is on correct body placement and developing a love for dance. Classes at this level emphasize technique, terminology, structure, and introduce ballet students to ballet barre work.
INTERMEDIATE
LEVEL 3: 4th- 7th GRADE, AGES 9-11
Children are taught technique of each style in a fun atmosphere. Correct body placement and the development of a love for dance continues. The complexity of exercises, as well as, the attack, intensity, speed, and coordination of movement all increase after Level 2.
Advanced
LEVEL 5 & Elite
When students reach these levels, their basic technical requirements have to be fully established. Students also have to be able to maintain values as more complex steps, combinations, grander versions, and faster tempos are introduced. Students in these classes should be taking a minimum of 2 ballet classes per week.
Company & Jr. Company
LEVELS 2-5
Company and Jr. Company students have discovered a passion for dance. These students are interesting in continuing with dance after high school. Company students are technically proficient and have a solid understanding of many different styles of dance.
