About Us
Our Vision & Promises as a Dance Company:
As a Dance Company, we believe that no dream is too big and nothing is impossible. This is what we teach all of our students because it is very important to know that as a dancer and have confidence in yourself, that is when your journey truly begins.
​
We are one of very few Dance Companies located in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland. We are also one of the few studios on the island that offers Drop-in classes. Any class we teach (unless it is stated it's an audition or invite only class) is eligible for Drop-in. Whether you are Complete Beginner, Recreational, Pre-Professional Dancer or anywhere in between we have something for you!
​
Here at K&B Dance Company we believe that all dancers should be looked at as equal. We are a gender neutral company, we welcome both male and female dancers of all ages. We take pride in knowing our company stands for equality and is a non-judgemental safe space so everyone can feel 100% comfortable attending classes with us.
​
Our company is a safe place for everyone. This is their escape from reality when they need to do something healthy to help them deal with bad mental health days or if they just want to do something fun to escape the real world for a little while. We guarantee that as a company, no bullying, racism, or hatred of any kind will be tolerated in any way and will be addressed immediately.
We believe that dance is for everyone and each and every student should get individual advice and attention from their teacher to encourage them and help them improve with each and every class they take so we make sure our class sizes stay smaller than most dance companies have to ensure this is the experience of each dancer we teach.
Our Team
This is our amazing team here at K&B Dance Company! Each person on our team is equally as important to our company and each play a special part in helping K&B Dance Company run as smoothly as possible.
