We welcome absolute beginners as well as those with previous dance experience. All of our classes at KBDS are co-educational and open to Homeschoolers.
We are excited to offer some classes during the day as an option for Homeschoolers. These classes align with our studio policies and all participants are invited to participate in our annual recital, held in June.
This optional performance is a wonderful experience for dancers and a highly recommended, fun way to celebrate what they’ve learned from a season of dance!
Musical Theatre
This class is a great place to learn, grow, and develop self-confidence in musical theatre skills. Singing, dancing, acting are the cornerstones of all great musical productions. This class will expand upon skills in every area with a focus on theatrical dancing.
Tap & Jazz
Tap & Jazz: This combo class is fun and educational for the dancer who enjoys energetic expressive dancing, popular music, and the rhythms of tap. Let the jazzy popular rhythms from television and film keep your toes tapping and your fingers snapping!
Dress Code Requirements:
Dancers at all levels can benefit from wearing proper dress code when they are in class, rehearsing, and performing. Wearing the right clothes in class is just as important as wearing the right clothes onstage. Here are 5 reasons why every dancer should adhere to the dress code in their classes. Safety, Respect, Increased Focus, Body positioning, and Confidence & Attitude. You can read more here: https://kathyblakedancestudios.com/dress-code-requirements/
- DANCE ATTIRE or ATHLETIC WEAR along with the proper dance shoes are required for all classes, unless noted otherwise.
- HAIR: Long hair must be tied back for all classes and in a bun for classical ballet. Great news for students of KBDS, we always have hair elastics available in our office and in each studio if you forget yours!
- NO JEWELRY, COSTUMES or PLAY CLOTHES: Remember loose or dangling jewelry and costumes other than proper dance skirts are a safety hazard, a distraction for dancers and are not allowed. Jeans, jean shorts, play clothes, or school clothes are not suitable dance attire.Please put names on all dancewear, shoes, bags, etc. We cannot help these items get home without this vital information.
