Examination classes are
designed to cover the mandatory elements required by the

Question:
|
What’s the difference between
performance classes and standard dance classes? |
|
Answer: |
Performance classes are
designed to meet the requirements of individuals who will be
competing against other schools or performing for general
audiences. The classes focus on more complex choreography and
performance technique. Regular dance classes are designed to
meet the needs of individuals who are looking for dance
instruction at a standard or recreational level. |
