How to Choose Classes:
Here are 5 factors to consider when selecting dance classes:
Age Level (get more info here)
Dance Style
Family Schedule
Studio Location
Recital Date
AGE-BASED LEVEL GROUPS
5 Factors to Consider:
1. Age Based Levels:
At Bloom, we primarily use the age of the dancer to place them in the correct level. Children thrive most when they are in a class with peers in their same age group. When children are bumped up a level too early, they feel stressed and it can hurt their development as a dancer.
For Fall 2025, determine the age of your child as of October 1st, 2025 and find the correct level based upon that age group (note that dancers ages 5 - 18 stay in their same level for 2 - 3 years).
Our class schedule is conveniently color-coded to match our age groups (see graphic below).
NEW this year! We are so excited to introduce Level III into Bloom's Fall Schedule! After adding Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced levels last year, we saw incredible growth—and we believe that Level III will continue to build on that momentum.
Level III is designed for dancers ages 11–12 and will serve as a bridge between Level II and Novice. This level will provide stronger support for dancers preparing to transition into Novice, offering greater challenges and the introduction of new skills. With this change, dancers will now remain in each age-based level for only two years, helping to even out class sizes and allowing us to build more effectively on foundational skills.
Level III will be available at all Bloom locations—Valley, Blondo, Elkhorn, and Oakview. Beginning at age 13, dancers will move into our Novice level, which will be offered primarily at Oakview this season. Click here for more details about 11+ age levels.
We are SO excited to see Level III come to life—our instructors are ecstatic about advancing the curriculum and challenging these dancers to new heights!
2. Dance Style:
Think about what type of dance class interests your dancer (Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop, Jazz, Acro, Contemporary, Seeds, Musical Theater, etc.).
To help you determine this, you can read more about each style of dance offered at Bloom here.
3. Family Schedule:
Based on your family’s schedule, consider what days of the week will work well for dance activities.
4. Studio Location:
You may want to choose classes based on which studio location is most convenient for your family.
OAKVIEW: 3125 Oak View Drive, Omaha, NE 68144

Due to this, dancers who wish to begin pointe work for the first time at Bloom must be enrolled in our Cultivate Program. Dancers who are already dancing en pointe and wish to take pointe classes at Bloom may email us at support@danceatbloom.com, and we will work to find a time to assess your dancer’s pointe level and place them in the correct class. (Click here for more information on our Cultivate program. Click here for more information on Pointe opportunities at Bloom.)
Unlimited Pass: For Lilies who enjoy taking many styles of dance, we have an Unlimited Pass that will give you the option of taking many dance classes for one monthly cost ($304).

Bloom Levels (Ages 11+)
We are so excited to introduce Level III into Bloom's Fall Schedule this year! After adding Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced levels last year, we saw incredible growth—and we believe that Level III will continue to build on that momentum.
Level III is designed for dancers ages 11–12 and will serve as a bridge between Level II and Novice. This level will provide stronger support for dancers preparing to transition into Novice, offering greater challenges and the introduction of new skills. With this change, dancers will now remain in each age-based level for only two years, helping to even out class sizes and allowing us to build more effectively on foundational skills.
Level III will be available at all Bloom locations—Valley, Blondo, Elkhorn, and Oakview. Beginning at age 13, dancers will move into our Novice level, which will be offered exclusively at Oakview this season.
For dancers 13 and up, we have implemented a skills component to our classes. This means smaller class sizes and more individual attention to help your dancer grow with confidence. Because these classes are based on skill—not just age—your dancer may be placed in a level above or below our generalized age guidelines. This is intentional and in their best interest, allowing them to be in a class where they’ll be challenged, supported, and able to grow as a dancer.
Novice: This level is for dancers ages 13 - 14 years, as well as dancers 15+ years with limited dance experience.
Intermediate: This level is designed for dancers ages 15+, as well as some Cultivate dancers, with dance experience in the given style. Dance experience means they previously attended dance class 1 - 2 times a week in that style of dance. Your dancer may not be at the same level across all styles. For example, your dancer might be an Advanced Tap dancer but an Intermediate Hip Hop dancer.
Advanced: This level is by Bloom instructor invite only. It is intended for dancers 15+ with multiple years of experience and mastery in a specific dance style. It is designed for dancers who have attended class 2 - 3 times a week for that style of dance in the past and whom Bloom instructors have determined are qualified for this advanced level.
Also NEW this year is Bloom’s Leaps & Turns class:
Leaps & Turns is offered for dancers in levels Novice through Advanced and is designed to strengthen technique specifically in these two areas. Each class begins with intense conditioning, recognizing that strong athleticism is essential for both turning and leaping well. Dancers will then move into focused repetition, providing a consistent training platform with ample reps to build confidence and control. This technique-only class is ideal for dancers who are eager to work hard and be physically pushed to enhance their skills.
If your Iris, Lily, or Bouquet (dancers ages 11+) is new to dance, we recommend one of the classes below as a wonderful place to begin.
Hip Hop: This class is ideal for dancers who are looking to get moving! Hip Hop focuses on rhythm, musicality, and basic footwork, and is a great introduction to dance for those who may prefer a more upbeat dance style.
Seeds: This class is designed to grow dancers in their dance skills, while allowing them to experience the power of worshiping God through movement. (You can learn more about our Seeds program here.) Enrollment in this class is based on age and not on skills, and is a wonderful place for those newer to dance (at any age) to begin.
Teen Dance (Ages 13+ only): This class is specifically created for dancers age 13+ who have always wanted to dance, but are just starting out. It focuses on contemporary movements while establishing dance basics at a pace suitable for new dancers. Enrollment in this class is based on age and not on skills.
