Snow quiz

Decided to register, but not sure which class level to choose?

This short (and anonymous) questionnaire is here to help. Answer the questions honestly and use the result as a guideline for selecting the level that best fits your current dancing. This will allow each group to grow at a comfortable and supportive pace. Learning happens at different speeds for everyone, and that is what makes each dancer’s journey unique.

Please keep in mind that the recommendation is not definitive. Every dancer's experience is different, and a questionnaire cannot capture everything, so feel free to use your own (or your teachers') judgment as well.
