★★★★★Elizabeth HornedMy granddaughter's dance class
★Crista MattAfter 14 years with this company, my kid and I are deeply disappointed with how they treat their staff. A primary dance instructor was terminated with no notice and right before the Spring 2023 performance rehearsals. Many of the students who have been dancing under her for years are heartbroken and it seems my teen has been put to the task of teaching these kids with no compensation. Horrendous business practice! Please help me edit this post by making one thing right, KCYA.
★★★★★Amanda LeaMy 10-year-old has been taking dance classes here since she was 2 1/2. We absolutely love the teaching artists, staff, and community. The teachers focus on training, not competition. All of the dancers wear costumes that are age-aporopriate and truly look like the young ladies and gentlemen they are in stage. The community is diverse and feels like a family. I can't say enough about how much our family loves KCYA!
★★★★★Suzanne SouthardMy daughter has participated in summer camps and private music lessons here. Both have been fantastic. Great teaching staff and lively, positive vibe.
★★★★★Lisa BrummettMy daughter attended camp here for the first time. She loved every day of it. It was a half day camp for two weeks and the performance at the end was really great. I wasn't sure they would pull off something good with so little time but it was better than I could imagine. They really are professional here. Will be back for sure.
