DANCE LEVELS

At Kauai Dance House, we believe in the significance of a well-rounded foundation in dance education. We believe that solid technique is crucial for the growth of every dancer, every style. We believe in facilitating a flexible progression through levels, catering to the diverse starting points and goals of our students. A traditional progression often involves staying in the same level for 2-3 years. We aim to provide a supportive environment where students can progress at their own pace, ensuring a strong foundation while accommodating those who may demonstrate the ability to advance more rapidly.

Early Childhood (Ages 1-5):

Focus on exploring the classroom structure, establishing teacher/student relationship, developing interpersonal skills and sparking creativity.

Beginning (Ages 5-9):

Tailored for our youngest dancers who are embarking on their exciting dance journey.

Level 1 (Ages 7-10):

A transitional level designed for those gaining experience, whether they started early or are making rapid progress.

Level 2 (Ages 10-13):

An advanced level for dancers with a few years of experience, accommodating both early starters and those showing accelerated growth.

Level 3 (Ages 12-16):

Geared towards dancers consistently advancing in their skills, embracing a mix of early starters and those intent on reaching the most advanced dance levels in our studio.

Level 4 (Ages 14-18):

Our highest level, reserved for the most advanced and experienced dancers. Open to those with an extended dance background, whether starting young or progressing swiftly.

Our dedicated instructors provide personalized attention, fostering both technical excellence and artistic expression. We understand that some tweens and teens may join us later in their dance journey. We encourage a supportive environment that allows for both recreation and dedicated progress. We understand that many older dancers who start later hope to join their peers at higher levels sooner, and we want to create pathways that lead toward fulfilling that goal.
