Ballet is light and graceful with precise, highly formalized steps and gestures
Classical Ballet is the fundamental, technical form of dance from which all other dance styles stem. At KDC we learn to tell a story through technical movement, mime, facial expression to create imagery and students have the opportunity to work on self creativity. Ballet is fantastic for technique, musicality, strength and conditioning of the body, flexibility, strong posture and core stability as well as self discipline. Pointe classes will only be offered to students who are ready. Oh and by the way it's creative and fun!
Lyrical is a fusion of ballet, acrobatic, jazz and modern with much expression
Lyrical is a modern dance collaborative style where, students will be taught a strong contemporary dance technique consisting of floor work, footwork, turns, jumps, falls, tricks( tumbling and gymnastics) and combinations. Students will be developing contemporary dance technique and how to execute this technique correctly and safely. At KDC we offer, Lyrical as a collaborative mixture of ballet, slow modern and jazz techniques, it is the expression of emotion through movements and phrases. In this class we challenge the dancers to find the meaning behind the music and connect that to the choreography to tell the audience a story.

Tap-special metal platted shoes very rhythmical
Tap classes are designed to develop rhythm, style and sound. Students will learn a variety of tap styles from Broadway to Rhythm tap ( think funky, think percussion, think tap dogs). Exercises focus on building flexibility of the knee and ankles, coordination, and speed of movement. The class emphasis is on developing proper tap technique, producing clear tap sounds, and having fun. As students’ progress the classes, steps and combinations will become increasingly more complex and intricate.
Preschool classes-developing confidence, coordination through play based dance, drama, ballet and tumbling
Kinetic Kinder Dance- Ballet Component 4 to 5 years Kinetic Kinder Ballet -The children explore the way to tell a story with their bodies and faces whilst developing basic ballet steps and techniques. The trick is to hold the student's attention to gain technique as well as them having lots of fun. We begin to build strength in our legs and improve posture, work on balance, turn out and coordination through travelling steps and circuit work using props and equipment. These activities actively engage their muscles and are fun and stimulating to do. I always enjoy our self creativity component of this class, where the children use their own ideas and self expression against a piece of music of which some is familiar and some is not, balancing self creativity with learning new gross motor skills through ballet basic technique.
Kinetic Kinder-Dance and tumbling (great class for children with additional gross motor needs as well as those with exceptional coordination and tumbling skills 4 to 5 years We combine dance with gymnastics in creative and fun ways to popular and upbeat music.
