Without training, instructors make professional educational decisions regarding a student&#8217;s dance training. Returning students are placed according to their teacher\u2019s recommendation. New students are placed by age, grade, number of years experience, type of training and teacher\u2019s discretion. We do our best to place each dancer on the background you provide for us. If a student is placed incorrectly, they will be moved during the first few classes. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\">Not all dancers progress at the same pace. Many factors such as physical growth, learning speed, coordination, number of classes, natural ability etc. play a primary roll. There are great physical and emotional risks involved with a dancer progressing too quickly. Please allow us to place your child where we feel they can enjoy dancing, learn correctly and make excellent progress. Any questions or concerns regarding your child &#8216;s class placement and progress are welcomed. Please contact the office to schedule communication with your child &#8216;s instructor and\/or Studio 601 staff should you have any concerns. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><u><b>Class Information <\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\">Each class offered at studio 601 will be taught by a qualified instructor. Student assistants will be present in classes when deemed necessary by the director. Please stay with your child until their class begins. If anyone other than the parent or guardian will be picking up the dancer, inform the teacher\/office ahead of time. A short water break will be taken during the two-hour classes.
