(Please read the student progress section).
If you know ahead of time that your child will be absent due to holidays/vacations or commitments, please let us know. If your child is too unwell to attend class, we ask that you inform us as soon as you can before their class start time, so we can let the teachers know.

Student Progress -
*Please note that teaching methods and standards vary from school to school. For reasons such as these, the number of years (in any dance genre) a student has danced is not a deciding factor.
The studio director and teachers decide the precise level of class for each student.

• Placement:
All New Students are evaluated initially during their free trial/placement class. A new student will be placed in a class level that is consistent with the teaching standards of Keystone Ballet Academy to ensure the correct development of technique and optimum growth.
New students aged 4 – 6 yrs. old are evaluated during their free trial class AND subsequent classes for reasonable behavior. Teachers have the responsibility to keep their classes under control and ensure a safe and fun learning environment. Therefore, a teacher has the authority to dismiss any student who will not cooperate and/or is distracting the rest of the class, and request the child try again in (6) six months with (1) one free trial class.
• Attendance:
A student’s regular attendance in class is especially important to their peers and teachers. Not only do absences, and at-home practice affect a dancer’s rate of progress, it affects the class’s momentum for learning technique, and choreography routines for performance, and they also undermine the “True Grit” principles (i.e., perseverance, passion, and commitment) we work hard to foster in each age group.
If you know ahead of time that your child will be absent due to holidays/vacations or commitments, or if your child is too unwell to attend class, we ask that you please enter it through the customer portal - located under Attendance or email us, or call us - located under Contact Studio, before the start of class time, soon as you can, so we can inform the teachers.
• Advancement:
Progression to a higher level is based on technical ability and skill ability. Also, Students learn and progress at different rates, and this is further affected by factors such as class attendance, effort, and attitude. Students progress to the next level with teacher recommendations.
Your child’s teacher and the director are happy to discuss their progress and answer your questions. Please be respectful of other students’ time and do not interrupt or delay a class that is in session. Send an email to miss.emily@kba.dance to set up a time to talk.
• Pointe Work:
Dancing in pointe shoes is the dream and goal of many students in ballet class. Dancing on pointe is quite different
than dancing in flat ballet shoes. Proper training to be considered for pointe involves technique classes 2X a week for 3 years for students ages 8 – 11 because the bones of the feet are not fully developed. Children typically begin pointe by age 11. Teens and adults have fully developed bones and may start out 1X a week the first year but then must commit to 2X a week for 2 years to begin pointe.
