1. Ballet Class every Monday
We will have a few assessments this quarter including vocabulary review from the year, competition assessment, and the Dance Team Finale – which counts as a summative for all dancers.
Dancers are given a “Weekly Etiquette” grade based on participation, effort, behavior, and readiness for class.
