PLACEMENT
Emerald Ballet Academy welcomes every child who wants to dance. Starting in sixth grade, new students need to take a placement class to ensure they register at the correct level. Younger students may enroll by age.
PLACEMENT DURING SCHOOL YEAR
6th-7th graders: Tuesdays 4:30-5:30 p.m.
8th graders+: Tuesdays 6:30-7:45 p.m.
Note: Level placement is based on age, ability, maturity, and number of classes taken per week. Because we offer classes to students with differing dance goals and abilities, our levels don’t follow a strict progression and students will not pass through each level as they progress.

“My daughter’s journey in dance at Emerald Ballet Academy began four years ago.
The academy upholds a high standard of excellence and dedication, offering an
environment where students can thrive and reach their full potential. The teachers
are knowledgeable and professional. They genuinely care about each student’s
progress and well-being. They take the time to treat each dancer as an individual
and cater to students on all levels. The classes are challenging and rewarding.
There is an emphasis on technique, artistry and performance. The academy fosters
a sense of camaraderie amongst its dancers. They support and encourage one
another. One of the highlights of my daughter’s experience at Emerald Ballet
Academy has been the incredible performance opportunities. The performances are
always of the highest quality, and participating in them has been both instructive
and gratifying. My daughter has learned confidence, stage presence, and a deep
appreciation for the art of ballet. Emerald Ballet Academy provides inspiration for
dancers, professional training, supportive community, and beautiful performance
experiences. I highly recommend Emerald Ballet Academy to anyone seeking to
embark on or continue their dance journey. Come dance with us!
