Dance And Grow

For students ages 2-3

These classes introduce our youngest dancers to the world of dance and movement.

We explore our imaginations while learning the foundations of dance. Classes are kept light-hearted, entertaining and fun.

Tip-tap

For ages 4-6

Learning tap from an early age gives children coordination and confidence while helping them to build rhythm and musicality and learning ballet gives dancers a strong foundation to build upon.

Tip Tap is a 45-minute class that explores techniques in both tap and ballet. This allows dancers to stay focused and involved in a productive learning environment where they learn proper technique in a way that is fun but also guides them forward in their dance journey.

An introduction to jazz with a little hip hop flair, these classes are upbeat and energetic.

Kids with lots of energy, attitude and natural showmanship love busting a move at their early dance lessons.

Acro Kids

For students age 4-6

These sessions introduce children to the skills required to master acrobatic moves and tricks.

We have a focus on safety so students learn the correct way to challenge their bodies without hurting themselves.

Energetic kids who love to try something new always enjoy their acro kids lessons.

Ballet

For students age 7 to adult

Ballet is one of the world’s most beautiful and revered art forms. Adults and children alike will love building on a foundation of basic movements set to beautiful music as they grow their strength and abilities.

Tap

For students age 7 to adult

Made popular during the 20th Century, this appealing dance style still has its place in the modern world. Learning tap dancing is ideal for those hoping for a career in musical theatre or adults who have always wanted to give it a try.

Contemporary

For ages 7 to adult

Contemporary Dance bridges the gap between jazz and ballet, offering a fluid movement style and encouraging creative thinking. This form of dance often shares emotive storylines, encouraging students to express themselves through movements.

While it is less ‘rigid’ than ballet, contemporary still requires students to build a strong technical foundation. Contemporary dance students at KCPA expand their skills with the help of our skilled and caring teachers.

Musical Theater

The musical theatre program at KCPA delivers a mix of jazz, tap, contemporary and modern dance skills. Students combine their love of song with dance in these energetic and diverse classes.

These classes are ideal for students who want to test their abilities and love a new challenge.

Commercial Dance
