Kim's Academy of Dance

Already missing dance? Not to worry! Summer dance at KAD is coming up soon and registration is OPEN! ☀️😎 Register now at KimsDancePeoria.com

KID’S CAMP is open to students ages 3-10. With options at both our Peoria and Washington studios, these weeklong camps are sure to be a blast with fun theme days that include dance time, snacks, crafts, and more. 🤗

SUMMER TECHNIQUE CLASSES are also offered at both studios, designed for students entering 5th-12th Grades. These are the perfect classes for students who want to level up their dancing this summer. Dancers will step out of their comfort zone, but we’re a no judgement zone…everyone is learning and improving! 🧑🏻‍🩰

We can’t wait to dance with you!

It's RECITAL WEEK! We cannot wait to see our dancers shine on stage this weekend. Be sure to take note of important Peoria Civic Center policies below. ⬇🌃

1. PCC and Prairie Home Alliance Theater have a clear bag policy for all attendees. Each guest is permitted to carry one (1) approved bag, defined as either a clear bag measuring no more than 12” x 6” x 12” or a clutch purse no larger than 5” x 8”. Diaper bags (accompanied by a young child) and medical bags will be permitted following inspection.

2. There will be a bag check and metal detectors at the venue. All dance bags/costume garment bags may be subject to a bag search before entering.

3. If you need to purchase recital tickets the night of the show, you must get them at the PCC Box Office (located conveniently right outside the theatre entrance). Dress Rehearsal tickets will be available at a table at the theater entrance the night of the dress rehearsals.

4. Be sure to arrive early! Doors open 1 hour prior to showtime each night (both rehearsal and recital nights). We expect long lines and potentially some wait time in case of bag checks.

Make sure you have everything you need for our 2026 Recital Weekend June 4-7! PEORIA families: Be sure to note the time change of our Dress Rehearsal this year, beginning at 4pm on Saturday, June 6 (doors open at 3:00).

Happy LAST week of dance classes! We cannot believe how quickly this year flew by. With these last few weeks of classes come our end of year traditions, too! As always, Miss Kim treated Peoria’s Senior Company and Washington’s Junior Company to treats at Emo’s after their costume weeks. 🍦🍟😋 Lots of fun is always had at this outing, a tradition Miss Kim has been holding since her days with a studio on Prospect!
