LEVELS/NIVEAUX

It is essential for everyone to assess their level carefully in order to choose the most suitable group.
All levels provide material designed to help you progress as a dancer!
The instructors will be instructed to adapt their classes to each level.

Of course, if you wish to change your level after registration, please let us know via email, and we will make the adjustment.
