These are with out exception. Any exceptions to this will be made by studio choice only and will be made only after a student has danced at Creative Movement School of Dance.  This does NOT mean that there will not be younger students in some of these classes.  If they are in the class, they have been dancing with CMSD and have been placed here by ability.

Once at the school, a student should score a 3.5 on an entree test to take any of the leveled classes as their first standard class and a 3.0 to take a level as their second standard class. If a second class is wanted and the student does not have a 3.0, they will benefit most from retaking a more basic level for technique reasons.  A teacher will always tell you when it is time to change levels.  Be patient with yourself in each level.
