Mission Statement

Fun Comes First

A Fun Program

The Tiny & Mini Company is a fun program that works to challenge our dancers to improve their technique, skills, and creativity, build teamwork, develop sportsmanship, and provide additional performance opportunities.

Perform & Compete

Dancers learn routines to perform throughout the year — including our Christmas Show and Recital — and have the opportunity to attend a competition in the spring alongside our elite company members. It's an accelerated, joyful program!

Attendance

A Big (Fun) Commitment

Tiny & Mini is a joyful commitment, and consistent attendance helps our little teams learn, grow, and shine together all season long.

What We Ask

  • The dance season is a September–June time commitment.
  • Please refrain from other activities that conflict with regularly scheduled classes and/or rehearsals for the entire season.
  • We encourage only one absence per class, per quarter.

Helping Your Dancer Catch Up

If your dancer misses a class or two, no worries at all! Our teachers will gently reach out to share how your dancer is doing and offer simple, encouraging ways to help them feel caught up and confident. If a little extra one-on-one time would help, we can arrange a private lesson (a small fee applies) — always with love and at your dancer's pace.

Next Steps

Here's What To Do

Three simple steps to get your dancer dancing.

1

Register Online

Sign in to the KAD Portal and look for the class "Tiny/Mini K Company." Registration takes just a few minutes and includes the $55 registration fee for the year.

2

We'll Confirm Placement

Our staff confirms your dancer's spot in Tiny or Mini Company and makes sure they're placed in the routines that fit them best.

3

Jump Into Class

Your dancer joins their teammates on Tuesday nights and starts learning this season's routines right away!
