Evaluations for our Ballet & Modern programs are required for children ages 7 and older, using the guidelines below. This process helps us to place children according to their abilities and learning styles to ensure a successful and rewarding experience.  Evaluations are NOT needed to sign up for Hip Hop, Teen Ballet, Beginning Modern, and Teen Contemporary classes!

​

To set up an evaluation class:

• Determine which class to take your child to by using the guidelines below.

• Check the class schedule for times and room locations.

• Let us know that you are attending an evaluation class by contacting Heather Keckeisen at heather.actsdance@gmail.com She can also help with any questions you may have.

 

Unfortunately, attending an evaluation class will not guarantee a spot in our program.  Many of our lower levels fill up fast and have a waiting list.
