Student Division Classes
Ages 8 - 18
*Registration for Summer 2025 is now open!
The Student Division classes are year-round classes for new and returning students ages 8 - 18. Levels in this division are based on age, physical strength, and technique ensuring students can develop at a pace that matches their development and goals. Our curriculum stresses the importance of relating other techniques such as Modern and Jazz to the dancer’s ballet technique to create a well rounded dancer.
Dancers may enter this division starting at age eight. A class placement is required for Level 2 and up.
The promotion to a higher level considers the amount of hours required in the training for each level. Students are promoted to higher levels according to their individual progress and attendance.
For Non-Level students, see below for available out of program classes.
Please E-mail school@rockforddancecompany.com for a placement appointment.
*Please note: The age you are by registration date is the age you will start at. Registration fees are included in cost, and classes can be prorated*
