Open Division Classes for Teens & Adults
Fulfill a Dream. Learn Something New. Have the Time of Your Life!
At KC Ballet School, we believe dance is for everyone, including adults with little or no dance experience. Our open division class schedule is flexible and teens/adults can take as many or as few classes as their schedule allows.
Classes are designed for teens and adults with varying levels or no experience, who are interested in the fun and fitness of dance. Classes are drop-in style and meet weekly. Students may attend any or all of the classes that suit their interests or level of ability. We have capacity limits on all classes. Please check Mindbody or give us a call to see if a class has reached capacity or not.

Ballet Bod is a Pilates-based and ballet-inspired fitness method, founded by Jenny Schmidt and designed for the ballerina within all of us. This graceful class is designed to help you strengthen your core, balance, mobility and overall strength. Come move with joy and purpose to feel better from the inside out.
Beginner contemporary aims to ground ourselves and find expression in movement. The class is an hour and a half. It will begin with a mindfulness practice which will lead into guided improvisation, encouraging you to explore your own movement vocabulary and warm up your body. The class progresses through center and across the floor with exercises honing our contemporary technique. The class will end with a longer combination using concepts explored throughout class within phrase work. Adaptions are encouraged and welcome in class! All bodies and people are welcome in space.
From hip-hop to jazz, Latin to lyrical, the choreography is fresh and fun for both new and experienced dancers.

Each week students learn new choreography while continuing to work on 9 other dances.
