**Published age and grade ranges are general guidelines. Final class placement is determined by The Dance Vault faculty and may consider a dancer’s age, experience, skill level, developmental readiness, and overall class fit. A dancer may be placed outside the listed age or grade range when the instructor believes another level will better support their safety, confidence, and continued growth.
