Our mission is to make dance accessible to all interested youth across the St. Louis region. We serve students age 3 and over. We do not participate in any competitions, there are no registration fees and no strict dress codes are required to join our program. Our goal is to raise students as artists and encourage creativity! Our Youth Program is designed to accommodate dancers of any level between the ages of 3-19. With no registration fees, flexible payment options, and costume costs as low as $40/class, CKDC seeks to make dance affordable and accessible. Class card and tuition payment options are available. Scholarships are also available for families in need. Program announcements and updates are openly communicated with parents through email, website, Facebook and in the studio. CKDC students participate in two student dance concerts a year, and may take advantage of CKDC's residency programs at the Kranzberg Arts Foundation. Career-minded young artists have the opportunity to join CKDC's Junior where they will get to work with our professional company.
