From the reviews

I can’t say enough good things about Just For Kix in Detroit Lakes. I danced there from age 4-18 and fell more in love with dance every year. JFK and its great instructors gave me the opportunity to be committed to dancing while still having the flexibility to participate in many other activities.

★★★★★ — Hope, Aug 2022

My daughter has gone to JFK since she was 4. We love the program & her Coach Michelle!

★★★★★ — Terri, Aug 2022

Miss Michelle and her team of coaches are beyond amazing! The direction and support given to every child/adolescent in the program cannot be matched.

Your first ballet class at Just For Kix

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
