The KSD Showstoppers did an AMAZING job at the competition in Coure d’Alaine. We received High scores in the Emerald range and walked away with so many compliments.

The Kent School of Dance Performance Team is a select group of dancers ranging in ages 7 to 18, who have had at least one full year of dance training in Tap, Ballet and Jazz.
These dancers are committing themselves to be part of this select group to further their training in dance. The Performance Team is made up of dancers who want to experience competing and training with Master Teachers outside of just the KSD studio.
We are a team and really focus on team improvement as a group and individually.
Our Performance Team members joined this group because they want to do more than just take dance class and perform locally. We travel throughout the state and nationally for competitions, conventions and workshops.
Fun while learning, being role models, having the confidence inside, teamwork, setting and obtaining goals as a team and individually, family feeling, positive critiques, friendship, leaders, etc. are just a few reasons to be part of the KSD Performance Team.
Everyone is invited to join (as long as the previous requirements are met), but it is a commitment for an entire year so you have to LOVE dancing and having a really good time!
