Welcome!
We’re grateful to be able to open our digital doors in order to keep our beloved dance community moving, learning, and connected to one another at this time. We invite you join the movement by signing up for live zoom classes and utilizing our free video library and other resources!
Virtual Classes
Join your classmates and teachers in live, interactive virtual classes presented via zoom!
We’re thoughtfully re-imagining our class formats and material and discovering the amazing capabilities of technology to bring us together. Virtual classes will provide students of all ages and levels the opportunity to learn and progress, a sense of normalcy and routine, and a meaningful chance to connect with classmates and teachers! We’re offering virtual classes in two formats: Live Stream and Online.
How it works:
1. Register via StudioDirector by searching “Live Stream” or “Online”. Once registered for your desired class, click “View Class Documents” from your Studio Director portal to access Zoom login information. Please see our guide for Zoom tips and trouble-shooting
2. Designate your dance space! Choose an open space free of obstacles and be sure to do a safety scan ahead of time (minimize sharp edges, precarious items, wandering pets, etc, and pay special attention to floor surfaces: even and firm but non-slippery is best). Try to minimize noise and distractions. Tips for setting up an at-home tap floor
3. Wear the appropriate dance attire as outlined in the KDT Dress Code and be sure to have a phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, or even a smart TV, and reliable internet access.
4. Click on the Zoom link 5 minutes before class starts and wait for class to begin!
5. While you are welcome to take pictures and/or videos of your dancer participating, recording the screen in any way is prohibited. Please be sure that other on-screen participants are not included in recordings.
6. If you do take pics and/or videos, we encourage to you post and share! We would love to see our dancers! Be sure to tag us on social media: on instagram @kinetics_dance_theatre facebook: Kinetics Dance Theatre, #KDT, #kineticsconnected
Instructional Video Library
Built with contributions from our amazing KDT faculty, this video library is intended to provide you with a wealth of at-home practice and instruction guides you can do anytime, anywhere.
How to use the library:
- Visit the site anytime to select a video. Choose an appropriate level and genre, clear a space in your home (most phrases are designed to be possible in smallish spaces, but be sure to remove unsafe obstacles!), warn your family members (or invite them to join!), and get moving!
- Visit us on facebook and/or instagram to see the videos as soon as they’re posted each Monday.
