To join the Ballethnic Academy of Dance an evaluation is required which will determine your class
placement.
We evaluate each student’s ability to demonstrate mastery of prerequisite skills in order to ensure
that the proper foundation and technique has been established. For students that aspire to be
professional dancers, it is imperative that the proper foundation be laid. You must register (pay)
as well as schedule (book a date/time) for your evaluation.
The level at which you are placed, based on your evaluation, will determine the classes you will
take and when they are scheduled. The schedule for each level can be found on the Class
