Competitive Programs

JOIN OUR DANCE FAMILY! Interested in the Competitive Program for 2024-25 dance season? Inquire now! Summer Intensive classes available in August! (see Summer Programs page for schedule of classes)

At K&K we have a range of programs and disciplines to suit you and your dancer. We offer Novice, Full-Time and Part-Time Programs (ranging from 1 to 4-5 days per week). Competitive dance is both fun and challenging and involves commitment from both dancers and parents. While the selection process focuses on technique and potential, all students must demonstrate self-motivation, a strong work ethic, active listening and a love of performing. We understand that all students develop and improve at different rates. That said, each year dancers will be re-evaluated to determine their program placement.

Dancers will not only train to become the best dancers they can be, but will gain confidence & performance skills that carry over into their lives in whatever avenues they choose to pursue, develop friendships and teamwork skills, and become part of an amazing dance family & community!

Inquire if you are interested to find out more details specific to your dancer’s level or to schedule an assessment appointment! We are currently accepting inquiries for all ages and levels.

There are NEW teams beginning Sept. 2024 as well as opportunities to join current teams: inquire if you are interested! We can let you know program requirements.

For the 2024-2025 season we will compete at 4-5 competitions in the spring (dates range from March through May). We will attend 1-2 “away” competitions (within 2 hour drive) and others will be local (within a 1 hour drive). We are extremely organized and you will be informed of all dates, rehearsals etc. well in advance! Inquire for further information regarding our competitive programs or to schedule a placement appointment.

SUMMER INTENSIVE CLASSES: Students enrolled in our Competitive Program (excluding new novice teams - summer camp participation recommended instead) participate in our Summer Intensive Classes (drop in classes Tuesday-Thursday evenings over 3 weeks to allow flexibility with attendance) to prepare for the upcoming dance season. Students are required to complete a minimum number of classes but are encouraged to attend as many as they wish! Competitive students outside K&K Dance Dreamz may also attend our summer classes at a drop-in rate.  See “Summer Programs” page to view schedule of classes available.  For more information or to inquire regarding levels,  please contact us directly.

All recreational and competitive dancers will participate in our year-end recital at the Flato Markham Theatre in June. The annual recital is an opportunity for dancers to showcase their accomplishments and learnings from the dance season.

Class descriptions

K&K Dance offers recreational and competitive programs across various disciplines for aspiring dancers. In every class, we deliver a fun and rewarding student experience that focuses on the development of coordination, strength, creativity and rhythm, while building self-confidence and self-discipline.

 

Ballet

Ballet is a fundamental discipline for all types of dance training. This beautiful but challenging dance form enhances technique and builds strength for all other dance classes. Ballet is mandatory for members of the K&K Dance Dreamz Inc. Competitive Company.


Tap

Let’s make some noise! Students will learn the fundamentals of both traditional and contemporary styles of tap. All classes emphasize the importance of rhythm, timing and coordination.


Musical Theatre

Musical Theatre allows students to showcase their theatrical talents, while improving expression and performance ability. The combination of drama and dance encourages students to lose their inhibitions, gain confidence and work on routines inspired by musicals, movies and/or character portrayals.


Song & Dance

This class combines vocal technique exercises with dance training to develop dancers with “Triple Threat” capabilities. It also focuses on musicality and a love for performing.


Jazz

Energetic and fast-paced, Jazz enables students to learn technique and style while improving coordination. Jazz encompasses a wide variety of styles performed to popular music, both new and old.


Lyrical

This discipline successfully merges the elegance of ballet and intensity of Jazz, with an emphasis on developing grace, expression and fluidity. It calls dancers to interpret and convey the lyrics and emotion of the music through movement.


Hip-Hop

This popular street-style dance form is constantly evolving and often seen in your favourite music videos. Inspired by culture and the latest in hip-hop music, these energetic classes improve rhythm and style, and provide a great workout too. We emphasize age appropriate music and movement.



Contemporary

This class combines elements of Jazz, Ballet and Modern Dance. It consists of innovative combinations and choreography that allow dancers to explore their own style, develop creativity and improve technique.



Acro

Acro is a specialized discipline that combines the art of gymnastics and dance. Training is focused on developing strength and flexibility. Students will begin with the basics such as back bends/bridges, front rolls and cartwheels and then progress to more difficult moves.
