From the reviews

I am a student at KM and the teachers are the best. They are understanding and the challenge us. If you need help the teachers take time out of class for one on one. I never dream of dancing at another studio. EVER.

My daughters have been dancing here for the last 9 years. I wouldn't have them anywhere else. The teachers are wonderful and they truly pay attention to technique. The studio is now under new ownership and has a bright future ahead. I will continue to recommend this studio to anyone interested in dance.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Mar 2014

My daughter has been dancing at KM for several years now. She loves it so much and thrives there. All of the teachers have such a great passion for dance and building the kids up to be successful. I have watched many students go on to study dance at university, join companies, and even join the Sac Kings Dance Team.

Your first ballet class at KM Dance Arts Studio

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.
