KMS Dance Department Classes

Beginner, Intermediate & Advance 

Since taking over the C.E. King Middle School Dance Department, the program has grown into a structured and dynamic system that supports dancers at all levels of experience. Our program is designed to foster technical growth, creativity, and performance excellence through three main class levels:

• Beginner Dance: This foundational course is for all first-year dance students, regardless of their grade level. It focuses on the basics of ballet, jazz, and modern dance while also introducing students to dance history and performance etiquette. The goal is to build a strong technical base and love for movement.
  
  

• Intermediate Dance: Designed for students who are returning for their second year of dance, this level builds on the foundational techniques with more complex choreography, increased focus on performance quality, and deeper exploration of dance vocabulary and style.
  
  

• Advanced Dance: Reserved for qualifying students, this class is composed of mostly second- and third-year dancers who have demonstrated strong technique, commitment, and artistic growth through a formal critique process. These students represent the highest level of training at KMS and often perform throughout the community in collaboration with the KMS Dance Company (KMSDC), serving as ambassadors of the program.
