Cecchetti Ballet Camp 2026 🩰 ⭐️
We are so incredibly proud of these dancers who chose to train 12 hours of ballet technique this week.
Hard work, dedication and a little bit of fun ( 😉) is what it’s all about🩷

Princess Camp 2026 was the most perfect blend of MAGIC, WONDER, and of course DANCING 👑 🩷👑🩷
Thank you Princesses for sharing time with us this week, we loved every moment! Thank you teachers and assistants for helping to create a week our Princesses will never forget💫

Congrats to KDS alum who finished 6 weeks of rehearsals in NYC and is now aboard the Oosterdam for Holland America Cruise Lines!!! Taylor is performing in multiple shows aboard the ship while cruising the Mediterranean.
WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

15 years ago today our original studio home was demolished by the Joplin tornado but everything this legacy was built on, survived💜
What stood inside those walls was so much bigger than bricks and mirrors. It was friendship, passion, hard work, laughter, memories, and a family built through dance… the same things we have now. While the storm changed our physical home, it could never destroy the legacy and heart of our studio.
Today, we are heading into our 55th anniversary of serving the joplin area and stand stronger than ever because of our incredible dancers, families, teachers, alumni, and community🫶🫶🫶
Fifteen years later, moving into our 55th season, our story continues — one generation of strong confident dancers at a time.
While our original studio home may be gone, our current one embodies the spirit of this studio and will live on forever in the hearts of our dancers and dance family 💜
