With 4+ levels of technique classes in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz, Expressions has a class to fit your level and schedule.
To enter our Graded Technique program dancers must be in at least 4th grade or have completed the Beginning Level dance curriculum. In our Graded Technique program advancement is based on correct placement, skill mastery, and instructor recommendation-not by age-which means all classes have a variety of ages. Students spend an average of two years at each level before mastering the skills to advance.
