This is where PASSION for dance really begins! Becoming part of a team means making friends and sharing the fun!
If your dancer can't wait for class each week, and they can't seem to get enough dance, they are ready! We know young dancers have many choices of activities, so plan for 2-3 days a week to attend classes and rehearsals. We encourage kids to have many interests, and weekly class attendance is very important, so organization is key!
Required events are scheduled at the beginning of the season to allow for zero-conflict planning. These events are what we work toward, a true test of our training! Competitions are generally scheduled February - April and recitals in May. Competitions are held over the course of a weekend, and time schedules are available 7-10 days in advance, so these weekends must remain clear in your dancer's schedule. All dances are showcased in our May Spring Recital Performances.
Auditions are not necessary for our Mini's, only the desire! As dancers grow and gain experiece, Kehl has different pathways to choose. Contact us for more information regarding Auditions which take place mid-May.
We strive for inclusivity by offering 3 levels of commitment. Dancers and parents choose which level of commitment is appropriate for their family. Together with your family choice, and advice from our caring instructors, dancers are placed in a training program that encourages them to set personal goals, train with intention, and take ownership of their progress.
