Level Descriptions
At Ignition Dance Academy (IDA), class levels are determined by a dancer’s individual skill set and ability in each genre rather than strictly by age. While age can be a helpful guideline, it is not the sole factor in placement.
Our goal is to provide the most beneficial and challenging experience for each dancer to meet them where they are!
If you're unsure which level is the best fit for your dancer, please contact us directly. We are happy to discuss placement and make adjustments based on your dancer’s prior experience and training.
