Teen Dance FAQ
My teen has never danced. Is it too late to start?
Not at all. Our Tween and Teen classes welcome first-time dancers as well as dancers with years of training. We place every student where they can learn, grow and feel successful.
When can my dancer start pointe?
Pointe usually begins around age 11 with instructor approval. Dancers first take a pre-pointe workshop and a consultation with their teacher to make sure they're strong and ready. Pointe shoes are purchased separately because they need an individual fitting.
How are teen classes leveled?
By age, experience and instructor evaluation. Some higher-level classes need an instructor's recommendation or a co-requisite class such as ballet or Technique, Turns & Leaps.
Can teens help teach?
Yes. Dancers ages 12–18 can apply to our Student Ambassador Program to assist in classes, mentor younger dancers and learn how a studio runs.
