There are 15-30 students per class and 4 class levels. Levels will have a staggered start and dismissal time beginning at approximately 9:00 a.m. each morning and ending by 6:00 p.m. In addition, students will be rehearsing repertoire for the performance showcase at the end of the 5 weeks. Three week students will not have the opportunity to perform in the showcase but will be allowed to invite parents and friends to watch select classes.
