A Levels curriculum card is a weekly roadmap. Read the weekly purpose first, choose a manageable group of skills, and use matching videos where you need support. In the current Teaching Studio, the lesson page brings this preparation together in one place.
What am I supposed to teach this week?
To identify the right weekly lesson, confirm the dance style (Hip Hop or Breaking), curriculum level, and curriculum week. A studio class name or today’s calendar date alone does not identify a Levels lesson. Include the class length when you want planning help. Do not include dancer names or completed assessment records.
If you have eligible Teaching Studio access, check the class and next lesson in My Teaching or open your included curriculum in Curricula. Public support does not reveal paid lesson details or guess a week from age alone.
Can I customize the curriculum?
Teaching adaptation means adjusting pacing, repetition, grouping, coaching, or class length while retaining the lesson’s purpose and foundations. Teaching adaptation does not grant permission to rewrite, rebrand, email, publish, or redistribute the curriculum or video files. Those uses depend on your current membership and licensing terms; ask Levels if they are unclear.
Read the weekly roadmap
Read the theme and lesson focus. In the portal, begin with What am I teaching today.
Review key concepts such as cultural context, musicality, or mindset.
Choose the actual class length and review the warm-up, skills, and activity.
Use the review prompts and matching videos for material you need to revisit.
Review At-home practice and Share with families. Older cards or recordings may call these Home training and Parent corner.
Choose what fits your class
You are not expected to complete every listed item. A manageable first plan is one warm-up, two or three skills connected to the weekly focus, one activity, and a short wrap-up. Choose fewer items when dancers need more repetition or the class is shorter. Follow the sequence before making major changes, then adapt pacing, grouping, repetition, and delivery to the dancers in the room.
Use matching videos as teacher support
Preview unfamiliar demonstrations on the lesson page. You do not need to play every video during class or memorize the full video library. Test playback before class. Saving a lesson or plan does not download videos or grant permission to distribute video files. If the official Levels app offers offline viewing for your membership and device, follow that feature’s terms; do not assume the portal supports video-file exports.
Save preparation separately from class progress
Use Save lesson to return to the lesson from My Teaching. When Plan with Levels is available, create a plan for the class, review it, edit as needed, and save the plan. Saving preparation does not advance a class. After teaching, use Mark as taught only for the correct class and only when the lesson’s central purpose was taught.
Check permissions before printing or sharing
Printing, family distribution, and branded materials depend on your current account permissions and licensing terms. Open the handout from the lesson page when your access permits it. Do not share paid curriculum or videos outside authorized access, and do not assume a public help article grants those rights.
