Company Performance Team
Historically KPC has always been a co-ed group thanks to our company practices which included members from all of KPC's teams. This allowed members of all ages and experiences to dance and grow amongst each other and understand how to support each other through their different struggles. Due to the covid pandemic we had to downsize our practice space which made it impossible to hold company practices with all of our members. Thanks to our new studio in Mountlake Terrace we have officially continued our company team to re-set the foundation that KPC was built on! |
Beginning Performance Team
Being our beginning performance team, working on the fundamentals of dance and performance is a must. Toxik focuses on elements of rhythm and counting, retention of choreography, self expression/confidence, and understanding accountability and etiquette as a team member, leader, and performer. These skills set the foundation for members to progress into Kure and Kontagious with the physical and mental skills to be ready for the new challenges and experiences that these teams will bring. |
Intermediate Performance Team
Once having a clear understanding of the fundamentals taught in Toxik, Kure continues to expand on individual accountability, teamwork, leadership, and of course more advanced dance styles and movements. Aside from choreography Kure introduces a larger focus on physical and mental stamina, as well as self realization to understand your strengths and struggles. This allows members to build the confidence to improve and advocate for themselves inside and outside of scheduled team practices. With this self knowledge members should be able to ask the right questions to improve, in doing so they will be able guide themselves through struggles and build experience to guide others through similar challenges when needed. While being on Kure, members should not only become proactive learners but also leaders amongst one another, creating an environment of mutual support, understanding, and growth. |
Open Level/Advanced Performance Team
Members are offered a position on Kontagious once they have consistently shown the technical skill, mindset, and professionalism being taught throughout training with Toxik and Kure. Being an example of these foundations shows that they are ready to continue to learn and grow in the performing arts. Kontagious is centered around self-advocacy and the desire and drive to improve in all areas of dance, music, and art. Our training is focused on continuing to push oneself, build their skills and strengths, and set goals that will prepare them for life and success. These members are offered professional opportunities to express their passions through creating, teaching, and leading. Practice Schedule
