DANCE EXTENSIONS COMPANY
Dancers have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of dance, learn the importance of working as a team, and achieve a higher level of performance. Members also have the opportunity to work under dance professionals, from Broadway choreographers to movie and video dancers, who teach classes during conventions and judge the competitions. Auditions are held in May for June through May annual membership.
REGIONAL DANCE CONVENTIONS
Members are required to attend at least two of the scheduled events of the season. Dates for the next season are posted at KAPA in April. Convention classes are taught by professionals from around the country. They inspire students and compliment their current dance education at KAPA.
PERFORMANCES
Members perform in community events, festivals, and competitions, and attend convention classes offered at some of those events. The company also presents an annual dance concert in their own spacious studio theatre.
