Performing Arts Limited – Class Placement

Classes at PAL are divided into Young Child (3-7 yrs.), Junior (8-11 yrs.), Teen (12-18 yrs.), Age Infusion, and Adult Levels.  Class placement is determined by the age and skill of the student.  The final determination for placement is skill performance.  We do this to assure that all students receive the best program for their ability and enjoyment.  If you are unsure what level you should chose for your student, please call the studio for a free consultation.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all of your teachers for the hard work that you do every day for my daughter and all the children who attend classes at your studio. Isabel has attended Performing Arts Limited since she was 5 years old, and I have been grateful ever since. The classes are always fun and challenging, but what I value the most is the opportunity for her to interact with all of the staff at the studio. As a mother I am always looking for strong positive role models for my daughter and I have found that at your studio. Your staff have played a significant role in her development as a person. I have always felt very comfortable with her at the studio because I know that she is interacting with strong, intelligent and extremely talented adults who are invested in her as a person as well as an artist. Thank you. ”
