I hope to teach classes that are affordable for all families, while covering the operational costs of my classes and paying myself fairly. To do this, I offer my classes at three different rates: Standard, Reduced, and Limited Reduced. You choose the price you pay for each session of dance, here are some suggestions to help you determine the appropriate rate:
Pay the Standard Rate if: You and your family are able to comfortably meet all of your basic needs. You have regular access to healthcare and financial savings. You own or lease a car, have expendable income and can afford occasional meals out, time away from work, and yearly vacations.
Pay the Reduced Rate if: You and your family stress about meeting your basic needs, but are still able to meet them. You can access healthcare when needed, and have been able to save money periodically. Sometimes you have expendable income and can take a vacation every few years without impacting your financial stability.
Pay the Limited Reduced Rate if: You and your family frequently stress about not meeting basic needs, and do not always achieve them. You do not have a car, or consistent access to one, or you live in unstable housing. You do not have savings. You cannot afford time away from work, or to take a vacation without it interfering with your ability to meet your basic needs. *If there is not a Limited Reduced Spot available, and you need one, email me at Kait.Dance.Info@gmail.com to be put on the waitlist.

Contemporary Dance combines Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and Interpretive Dance to create meaningful dances. This class welcomes absolute beginners, and returning dancers alike. For more about Contemporary Dance, see the video “What is Contemporary Dance?” We will begin class with a gentle warm up to increase our strength and flexibility, then we will learn a short combination exploring more dynamic movement and emotional expression. Class ends with a 10-15 minute cool down focussing on deep stretching and muscle release.
This class is accessible to a wide range of movers! If you have mobility limitations and are interested in taking this class, feel free to email me at kait.dance.info@gmail.com to share anything that can help me plan a challenging and successful class for you.

Pre-Ballet will get your little one up and moving, while building strength, coordination, creativity, listening skills, and basic ballet vocabulary. The class will focus on gross motor skills like jumping, crawling, and balancing, and gradually incorporate more creative elements such as differentiating between movements that are fast or slow, sharp or smooth, large or small. Through a mix of formal instruction and creative games, students learn behavior expectations for dance classes, and have fun while doing it!
