Which Class is Right for My Student?
At Rise Up School of Dance, dance classes are named by number for age groups and letter for skill level. For example, Level 1 is for ages 6–8, Level 2 for ages 9+, and Level 3 for experienced dancers ages 12 and up. A beginner dancer aged 9 and up would start in Level 2A, then move to Level 2B the next year as they grow and gain experience.
