Student placement is based on technique, physical development, age, and experience with our curriculum. While age is considered, our experienced faculty place students where they will thrive—prioritizing their physical, emotional, and social well-being.  Bluegrass Youth Ballet is focused on quality instruction and healthy progression, with care for the whole student in mind. New students ages 8 and up, or those returning after time away, must complete an evaluation before enrolling in Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced or Pre-Professional levels. You can contact Kori at enrollment@bluegrassyouthballet.org for more information.
