Now that you are introduced to the basics, lets train in the foundations! Dancers may stay at this level for 1-2+ years and this is normal and encouraged.
Some prior adjacent experience or starting with an intro class is recommended.

Advanced Beginner dancers typically have 1–2+ years of regular training and are ready to take their training to the next level.
In choreography classes, dancers at this level are expected to:
Learn choreography in class and arrive the following week able to perform it without following the instructor or other dancers
Practice outside of class and use video review to identify questions and self-correct
Ask specific questions when something feels unclear, rather than waiting for external correction
Receive and apply feedback without repeated reminders
About pacing at this level:
Choreography moves faster and may feel quick to follow in the moment, but the steps themselves remain accessible—the challenge comes from pace and retention, not advanced technique.
Foundations classes move at a faster pace because dancers are expected to have strong familiarity with Level 1 material and comfort with the core fundamentals.

-
Typically ~3–4 years of consistent training
Early Intermediate dancers consistently meet Advanced Beginner expectations and are now expected to dance with presence, confidence, and accountability.
At this level, dancers are no longer focused on whether they know the choreography, but on how they are performing it.
This level is defined by:
Confident use of facials, texture, and performance energy
Full commitment to movement choices (no marking or tentative dancing)
Consistent accountability: arriving prepared, engaged, and focused every week
Early Intermediate is the point where dancers move from independent execution to intentional performance.

Intermediate dancers usually have 5–6 years of regular training and demonstrate a strong, embodied technical foundation that clearly elevates their movement quality.
At this level, technique is visible in every choice—not just known, but ingrained.
Dancers at this level typically:
Execute choreography with precision, clarity, and ease
Show strong alignment, control, and consistency rooted in foundational training
Demonstrate technique that enhances movement quality (often informed by ballet or formal technical training)
Work toward advanced skills while maintaining clean fundamentals
Perform with musicality, clarity, and confidence across styles

Levels are a tool we use to meet dancers where they are and to set clear expectations. Clear expectations help everyone learn more effectively and reduce confusion, frustration, and hurt feelings.
-
Placement is based on current skills, consistency, and readiness, not just years of experience.
A good starting point is to ask yourself:
Can I meet the core expectations of this level consistently?
Do I leave class mostly building and refining, rather than trying to keep up?
Am I able to learn, retain, and apply feedback in the way this level expects?
If you’re unsure, that’s normal. We’re happy to help you choose a level, and instructors may offer placement guidance to make sure you’re set up for success.
If a class consistently feels overwhelming or unclear, it may be a sign that a lower level would offer more support. If it feels under-challenging, you may be ready to move up. Our goal is to place you where you can learn effectively and confidently.
Send us a message if you have any questions! -
Many dancers fall between levels, and that’s okay. You may be encouraged to train in different levels depending on the class type, focus, or your current goals.
