Kinetics Dance Theatre (KDT) is truly a gem among the local activities available for kids in this…read morearea! They are a non-profit organization that is more interested in teaching dance as an art form than making a buck. I've had at least one of my munchkins going here for the last 4 years (ever since we moved to this area). Between them they've taken Ballet 1, 2, 3, 4, Pre-Pointe, Pointe, Modern Dance, Tap, and Jazz...so I think we've seen quite a variety of classes. We could not be happier with KDT. It has been and continues to be a positive place for our munchkins to learn dance (and made some good friends to boot). If you're in the market for a place for your little ones (or even big ones) to learn about dance I'd definitely suggest checking them out.

My thoughts on this studio:…read more 1. Don't bother with the dress code. I purchased my dancer specific dancewear after talking to the Registrar, Flora, about the dress code. The majority of dancers are not following the dress code. 2. Don't expect a peaceful studio. The handbook specifically says under the sharing spaces section: keep voices at a low volume to reduce distractions and noise and show each other respect and kindness. This was not enforced. After every class, the dancers coming out of the prior class were extremely noisy for 30-45 minutes outside the studio. It was extremely disrespectful to my dancer's class. After I politely requested for quiet in the studio, my request was ignored and the behavior continued. 3. Don't expect to feel welcome as a new dancer. Priority is given to dancers not new to the studio. I had questions about my dancer, and the school director, Alex, could not be bothered to evaluate my dancer. 4. Be prepared for a weird smell. The smell of the studio made my asthma worsen. I want to mention this because I know how frustrating it can be to enter a space that triggers asthma for those who suffer from it.

And though myself and many of the guys we're not professional dancers and a little nervous, she and her wonderful assistant Kiara, made us feel very comfortable. They were able to break down the dance steps to something manageable yet professional for our group as well as being able to build up our confidence in just 2 meetings. She and her team have the ability to teach you dance in a fun way whether you're a dancer or not and just have a great time. Best of all once we performed the piece not only did we get a standing ovation for our performance, they have asked to do it again for a concert in the future. Many thanks to the amazing Amina to getting us to place of success and accomplishment. I'll be back!

There is truly something for every interest and every level! What impresses me most about EMC, however, is that they always accentuate the positive, they help children to set and achieve personal goals, all while instilling perseverance and poise. While technique is very important at EMC, and is never lacking, it is these personal skills that I know my children will carry with them as they grow up. For these reasons, I know that the time my family spends at EMC is quality time well spent!
