Logos Dance Theater - Summer 2008
Dance class placement policy
Logos Dance Theatre wants every dance student to excel in dance. Students should be challenged without feeling overwhelmed. Students taking a level they are not ready for can hinder growth in dance, cause injury, and diminish motivation and confidence. Dance class placement decisions are made by the Studio Director
