WHATDOES“PERF”&“TECH”MEAN?

If a class is labeled “perf”, that means that class will be performing in the end-of-year recital; tentatively in June 2023 These classes will be learning and preparing to perform and will require the purchase of a costume for the recital If a class is labeled “tech’, that means that they will be working on refining their technical skills within the style While they may learn combinations to practice their performance, they are not preparing to perform in the recital There is no costume requirement Tech classes will have the opportunity to choose to perform if the class agrees as a whole

MOREABOUTKCPA...

We offer our Kaiser Kids Dance classes everyday Monday through Friday giving each family the opportunity to find the class that best fits their family schedule

We believe dancers should be versatile and be able to explore the various styles without having to come to the studio everyday so we ’ ve structured our schedule for dancers to attend multiple classes back to back

Performance & Technique classes are based on level, not on age When scheduling, our Customer Care Champions will be mindful of the students registered in each class so that their aren’t any extreme age gaps By offering classes based on level, dancers receive instruction that is geared for their level so they can reach their goals!

LEARNINGMETHODS

You

At KCPA it's important that dancers are learning in the proper format and order Just like you wouldn't learn cursive before learning the alphabet, the same goes for dance class We want to make sure dancers are learning their foundation before they begin learning exercises that can tend to be unsafe if not learned correctly and without the skills needed to execute

As our core values state, we believe in compassion and honesty Our teachers and staff will guide dancers and families through a safe dance journey making sure they are honest and compassionate in their direction and their orrections, This allows dancers to know where they are in their skills so they can create a plan to get where they want to go and find their thrive

At KCPA we encourage growth and working towards your goals with safety and proficiency in mind
