From the reviews

A year of tap dancing and piano and I was on a roll! But I moved to Texas so I can't go anymore. But I really recommend going here. Great teachers too. I loved it there. Great place to have your child to come to K.A.P.A! And great service.

★★★★★ — Mikhaila, Feb 2026

Today was my daughter and I first visit at KAPA! My daughter attend her trial class for tutus and bow ties, let me start by saying from the moment you walk in you are greeted from the front desk staff they are so friendly and make you feel welcome! My daughter Natalia had Ms.

★★★★★ — Mini, Aug 2023

Absolutely incredible performance! The KAPA Winter Progress Performance was outstanding from start to finish. My daughter had the best time performing in all four shows, and it was such a joy to watch her shine on stage. The execution by the staff was flawless—everything ran seamlessly.

★★★★★ — Annamarie, Dec 2025

Our family has been involved with KAPA dance, music and KAPA Rep for many years. The opportunities the staff gives these students is amazing. We have all grown so much in all ways during our time here.

Your first ballet class at Kenosha Academy of Performing Arts

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.
