Producing versatile dancers and artists ready for pre professional training in the performing arts and dance industries.
KG Dance Excellence provides a school-based pathway for students looking to increase their dance education and training. With a strong focus on developing the versatile dancer, the program offers quality training and performance opportunities by industry professionals in classical ballet technique, contemporary dance and jazz, as well as hip-hop and national dance, to produce versatile dancers prepared for the dance industry. Students learn from highly-respected industry professionals and each week all levels participate in two ballet classes, and a third class in contemporary, jazz or an allied dance subject. All dance classes are conducted during normal school hours at KGSC's purpose built dance studios.
KG Dance Excellence focuses on:
- Pre professional dance training to foster and encourage strong dance technique across a variety of dance styles and genres, including but not limited to Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop, Character Dance, and Musical Theatre.
- Pre professional rehearsals including the learning of guest choreography and the development of repertoire.
- Developing stagecraft skills that embody rehearsal, performance, and choreography, as well as cultivating etiquette in the use of costume, make up, and props.
- Developing discipline, motivation, musicality, creativity and teamwork.
- Developing a professional attitude with respect to personal health, work ethic and commitment.
KG Dance Excellence does not replace an out of school training program but is designed to support and complement dance studio training.
Students are encouraged and supported to continue their dance studio activities.
