This tier typically takes around 6-9 months to complete, depending on the student’s dedication and progress. To qualify for the next level, students must demonstrate consistent technique, musicality, and the ability to execute simple routines across multiple dance styles.

Bronze Program

The Bronze Program is where dancers truly start to refine their skills. In this tier, students deepen their understanding of dance technique, styling, and presentation. Emphasis is placed on connecting movements with rhythm and expressing musicality. This program generally takes 9-12 months, depending on the student’s progress. To qualify for the Advanced level, students must showcase a solid grasp of technique, the ability to lead or follow smoothly, and the confidence to perform more complex routines.
