LEVEL ASSESSMENT.
We are building a community of well-rounded dancers with a range of skills across different styles in the hip hop, street dance, & choreo world. At CD, we have developed a unique level system that enhances the quality of our dance classes by tailoring the pace, content, and focus to meet the specific needs of our dancers.
By organizing our classes into these five levels, we provide clarity and set clear expectations for both our instructors and students. This system ensures that each dancer receives the appropriate instruction and support needed to progress effectively on their dance journey. Our level system consists of four distinct levels: Level 1, 2, 3, & Crew.
PROGRESS takes time!
Please note that each Signature Progressive season is only 16-18 weeks long, which is a great chance for dancers to add different tools to their repertoire. We recommend that dancers train at each level for a minimum of three seasons before moving up to the next level. For best results, learn from a variety of instructors to build your understanding and experience in a wide range of styles.
