class descriptions
We believe that Ballet is the foundation of dance. To excel in Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, etc., Ballet is necessary. Although students are not required to enroll in Ballet class, it is highly recommended.
Our “Creative Movement” classes welcome children as young as age 2.5 years.

Which class is right for you?
Most of our classes are listed with a general age recommendation. However, please keep in mind that this is a suggestion, and not a strict age requirement. All students learn and thrive at different times and at their own pace! Our goal is to help place your young dancer in a class where they will most excel!
For Ballet and Jazz, classes are listed as Level 1, 2 and 3 in a manner that generally coincides with a specific age group. Students who have been dancing since early childhood may at this point be recommended to continue into level 4 and 5 classes. Enrollment in these advanced level classes require Teacher Recommendation, as they are highly technically focused and designed for the more serious and professionally-focused dancer.
Students who are new to D2D or are unsure if they are eligible for these higher level classes should enroll based on age group. If applicable, upper level recommendation may be made during the first two weeks of class.
