Pointe placement is determined by instructor recommendation based on strength, technique, readiness, and safe progression. Pointe work is introduced only when a dancer has demonstrated the required foundation and preparation.
Acro Placement
Dancers progressing beyond Intermediate Acro may be invited to Advanced Acro based on skill level and instructor assessment. If your dancer has previous acro, gymnastics, or tumbling experience, please contact the studio prior to registration so we can help determine the most appropriate placement.
For dancers new to acro, we recommend registering for the class level that aligns with your dancer’s age.
