The Faculty of Astoria Dance Centre is extremely careful and concerned when choosing the correct level class for each student. It is very important to remember that all students are individuals with very different talents, skills, and ability levels and they will not all progress at the same rate. In maintaining our high standards for a quality of dance education, it is therefore sometimes impossible to keep the same students together in a class year after year. Many students may need extra help and work at a slightly slower pace to help them master new steps that may come easily to others. This is carefully considered when placing students in appropriate class levels. The most important thing is that the student "enjoys" the class and "feels comfortable" in it and is "happy". A "happy" learning environment is sure to yield progress. Remember, it is very common to see two children of the same age and with the same number of years of dance training with extremely different capabilities.
