PANTUSO DANCE LEVELS

Experienced Dance Students: Following in line with our studio philosophy, we use a class designation system that will help students concentrate on being the best dancer possible rather than their "level" of dance. All of our classes, for students with moderate to extensive experience and skills, are given fun class names that relate to an aspect of each discipline (ex: Ballet Adagio, Tap Shuffle, Jazz Boogie etc).

We have grouped students in these classes according to a number of factors including: skill, confidence, experience, technique, age, performance quality, dedication, behaviour and class dynamic.

We start this process after Christmas and there is an extensive amount of thought and consideration put into composing classes. Our goal is to give students the best dance experience possible in a learning environment that that will help each student reach their full potential.

Students At The Beginning Of Their Dance Journey: “Steps”: Our series of classes for students who are just starting out or are continuing to work on the fundamental skills is called "Steps". Each of our dance disciplines has a series of Steps classes with designated age groups. All new students are able to register in any age-appropriate Steps program. Please note that it is very normal for students to be in Steps classes for 2 or more seasons.

If you want to register for discipline that you did not take this year, that is a higher skill bracket than Steps, please contact us to be directed towards the appropriate class or to set up an assessment.

Co-Requisites & Class Icons: Ballet technique is a fundamental skill required for many dance styles. In order for our students to progress and achieve their full potential Ballet is a co-requisite for some of our classes for experienced students. Jazz is a co-requisite for Lyrical, along with Ballet.
