Classes
Primary classes (those in our Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions) are conducted September through May to mimic the academic school year, with a shortened Summer session offered June-July and a 2-week intensive offered in August. Our studio, located in St. Louis Park, reopened for in-person learning in the Fall of 2021, though we continue offering hybrid options for every class.
The school year culminates each Spring with Sadhana, KDT’s annual school showcase.
Students who wish to continue their education during the summer months may register for our 8-week Summer Session, which runs from early June through late July, or our Summer Intensive, which normally takes place over a two-week period in August. Intensive students will dedicate two weeks to learning an entire dance sequence that may be publicly performed at community events or festivals.
Our 2023 Summer Session runs from May 30 – July 25 (no class July 4). It is open only to new beginners, with a children’s class (ages 6 – 10) at 6:30 to 7:30 pm and a Youth/Adult (ages 11+) class from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. Interested in enrolling? Please select your class below to get started. Email nina@kathadance.org with any questions.
Classes will take place in-person at our St. Louis Park studio (5806 W. 36th Street, St. Louis Park, 55416), but students have the option to learn virtually from anywhere.
