Conservatory Dance
For AGES 7 and up, Conservatory dance classes are intensive and comprehensive programs designed to provide high-level dance training. As one of the top 5% ballet academies in the US,* Coastal Dance Centre Conservatory classes will elevate your dance by means of a top-notch syllabus from the Royal Academy of Dance and supplemented with our outstanding program of dance classes like, acrobatic arts, contemporary, lyrical, tap and more!
NEW Coastal Dance Centre Students:
● New students enrolling in dance classes, particularly ballet, from ages 7 and up and/or with previous dance training must take a LEVEL PLACEMENT CLASS before registering for classes.
● New students will be placed in a class according to their age, skill level, and experience. Coastal Dance Centre Ballet technique class levels do not necessarily correspond with levels offered at a student’s previous school. It may also be possible that a student may remain in a level for more than one year. Should a student’s level placement change once classes are in session, any necessary tuition adjustment will be reflected on the student’s next invoice and may require uniform change.
RETURNING Coastal Dance Centre Students:
● All returning CDC students who have taken and passed the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) exam in the previous dance year 2024-25, are to register for the next level. Returning students who have not taken the RAD exam should contact the Front Office to inquire about the level recommendation.
● A Level Placement Class will allow the teacher to assess the student and then make the best recommendation for the appropriate level that will be beneficial to the student’s learning and growth. The recommended level will be based on their performance and skills in the class, age, and ability. Once the teacher informs the Front Office staff or the child’s parents, you can register through the Front Office or online. There is a level placement fee of $25.
