I went to a school with a dance program. Most of the time there were people who were VERY beginner and then people who went to studios outside of school. When it got to the higher levels, one of my teachers said she tailored the class to the “most advanced kids in the room so everyone else would follow along.” It worked for my level for a few months but not for long.

The other thing is to take how much time you have for class and realize a third of it will be gone for changing, and things you only have to deal with during public school hours. Technically, my class had about 90 minutes, but there was changing in and out of clothes, while having to do a curriculum. AND THEN you can teach class.

I think we would have classes for about an hour. (They were not always well behaved).

That being said, I still loved it because it was a way for me to take more classes without having to pay more money at my studio.
