Class placement is at the discretion of Westbrook Dance Academy. We take many factors into consideration. Age and experience are the initial guide for class placement. In order to find the right fit for your dancer, it is best to discuss with us as we have many offerings and levels. As classes begin, and we have a chance to assess ability levels, students may be asked to switch classes based on their skill level. If you are unsure about classes, we suggest trying a class.
