Kids in a children's dance class in Ottawa

KADC’s Pre-School Dance Program is designed for small children and toddlers to explore different types of dance and develop both large and fine motor skills. With a focus on basic dance techniques, these classes provide your child with an energetic introduction to a variety of dance styles.

KADC includes dance styles like Ballet, Acrobatics, Jazz, Hip Hop and Tap within the program. Classes also include instruction on musicality, team-building skills, cooperation, and dexterity.

By being introduced to a variety of dance disciplines early, these tiny dancers can make a more informed decision as they enter into separated and focused dance classes in the future. KADC will give these young dancers the opportunity to try and choose which styles of dance they would like to pursue once they are older.

– Our Spring Session participants have the opportunity to perform a choreographed dance at our year-end recital, demonstrating what they have learned throughout the year on a professional theatre stage in front of a large audience.
