Keikidance

Keikidancers love moving in unison, stretching, balancing, skipping, running and jumping like cats as they go from circle time to moving across our spacious studio. We introduce basic ballet terminology, create movement patterns and practice memory in an atmosphere of fun exploration and structure. Keikidancers perform in our annual production!
