Pre-Level 1: Kindergarten Dancers Ages 5-6
For beginner dancers in Kindergarten and those who have completed all Discover Dance levels at LOVV:
Our Pre-Level 1 curriculum builds on the foundation established in our primary classes. While keeping the fun and creativity alive, this level introduces more structured classwork and fresh material that dancers at this age are ready to take on thanks to their growing maturity, coordination, and body awareness.
Youth Levels: 1 - 5 and Advanced
Level 1: For beginner dancers ages 6+ and/or those who have completed all primary levels and Pre-Level 1 at LOVV.
Dancers begin building a strong technical foundation with an emphasis on posture, body alignment, and basic coordination.
Dancers typically remain in this level for more than one year and must receive teacher recommendation to advance.
Level 2: For low intermediate dancers ages 8+ and/or those who have successfully completed Level 1 with teacher recommendation.
This level reinforces posture and alignment while helping dancers gain confidence, control, and more refined coordination.
Progression beyond this level requires teacher recommendation and may take multiple seasons of training.
Level 3: For intermediate dancers ages 10+ and/or those who have successfully completed Level 2 with teacher recommendation.
Dancers continue to refine technique and develop more complex coordination while maintaining strong alignment and control.
