Question:
|
What’s the difference between
performance classes and just regular 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 recreational level. |
