Open Level Intermediate (or “Beginner/Intermediate”) classes are classes that invite stuents who have developed past the Beginner level to transition to more rigorous training.

These are Intermediate Classes, structured to be more intense and capabale of challenging more advanced dancers — but paying attention to newer students, helping them get “on their leg” to test their emerging skills and continue to grow.
