There are 2 ways to experience our Pre-school dance classes - one semester at at time, or a school year progression, with an on-stage Spring Recital Performance!


Mini Session Dance Classes

Mini Session dance classes meet once per week, throughout a specified time period, such as 12 weeks. These dance classes are designed to introduce dancers to a classroom setting while exploring dance in a creative and fun environment. Mini Session dance classes do not perform in our Spring Recitals but have the opportunity to perform for parents during classes. Summer classes are considered Mini Session.

 

Student Division Dance Classes

Enrollment closing soon! Our Student Division dance classes follow the school year, starting in September and ending in May. Each dance class meets once per week during the school year. We find this is the best way to build skills and confidence so we can present our dancers on stage and in costume during our Spring Recitals in May.

At Kehl, our pre-school age dance classes implement the Discover Dance program. We use concepts like Place, Size, Levels, Directions, and more to enhance our lessons beyond just the average dance class. Props, stories, and other dance activities are used to create a strong foundation and clear understanding on the basics of dance. This foundation will set your dancer up for success in dance training for years to come!
