Curriculum
Classes at EDC include ballet technique, variations, pointe, modern, tap, jazz, acro, hip-hop, adult and pre-school. Each level has a syllabus that a student must master before moving to the next level. Each student is evaluated on a regular basis to ensure proper placement. Changes in a student’s class placement are made based on the recommendations of EDC Director and Faculty. Placement and advancement from one level to the next is based on the student’s accomplishments and ability, not simply on age or the number of years spent in study.
