We always say that it can depend on their little personalities! If they are shy, then being the oldest in a class can be a great boost of confidence. On the other hand, if they aren’t intimidated by older students, they may enjoy the challenge of being the youngest in class.

Preschool classes are for ages 2 and a half through a young 5 year old. 4-6 year old classes are suggested for older 4 year olds through younger 6 year olds. Likewise for our 5-7 year old classes.

The student must be the listed age of the class by December 1st.

Our morning recital is made up of all Oneonta classes. Our matinee show consists of Trussville’s Monday and Wednesday classes. The evening performance is made up of Trussville’s Tuesday and Thursday classes.

*Some of our more advanced classes and competition teams do perform in all shows. Your teacher will notify you if this applies to you.

Looking at classes that perform across multiple shows? Remember, recital is just one day! Do what is most convenient for you throughout the entire year!

“Combo” stands for our combination class which includes ballet/jazz and tap. When students reach the age of 6-8, ballet is then offered as its own hour long class, and then combo becomes more strictly jazz and tap.

Click “subjects” under our “classes” tab for descriptions of all classes offered.

Please note that the years of previous dance experience shown at the bottom of a class are just an estimate! As your dancer grows, placement is more about their level than the number of years in dance. These number of years are only used as a guideline.

For example, a 9 year old with no experience might have equally developed motor skills to a 6 year old who’s 3 years of dance experience were all in preschool and 4-6 year old classes.

Be sure to check the classes adjacent to your class when searching for other subjects for your child or siblings. We try our best to make the schedule convenient for you! It is also color coded by age.

Remember, multiple classes receive a class discount. You only pay full price once at Miss Kelley’s!

We highly recommend adding on an additional hour of ballet to your regular combo when old enough, for example. Feel free to reach out for more recommendations via your registration form, or just give us a call!

You will see that some of our classes are asterisked to denote that they require teacher approval and certain pre-requisite skills. Please know that if you request one of these classes, it may take longer to obtain teacher approval.

Yes! We highly recommend this. Your teacher would be more than happy to do so. Just reach out to the studio.

All teachers use the month of September to monitor class placement to ensure that each student is properly placed.

Please remember that your dancer’s self confidence and self esteem are being developed just like their dance ability. Some children are not capable of perceiving a level placement. They will only know that dance is not “fun.” If placed in a different class, the same child could have thrived.

Sometimes it takes trying several classes before finding the correct level - like shopping! Again, the teachers will help you determine what is the best fit for your child. We truly have each dancer’s best interest at heart!
