All About Kay’s Academy of Dance
Our New Home ♡
Kay’s Academy of Dance is nestled in the heart of Mukwonago with views of Phantom lake that can be enjoyed from our balconies. While we do have ample parking, a parking loop was designed for convenience and safety during pick up and drop off. We love our community which is why we’ve been in Mukwonago since we first opened our doors 30 years ago. While we may have a new location, our mission and values have not changed.
Our new studio was designed with careful consideration and attention to detail. When you walk through the doors, you will notice the large windows that let in natural sunlight. Each studio has vaulted, high ceilings making them open and spacious. Our floors are the same floors used by the Milwaukee Ballet selected for their beauty and high performance for various dance styles. All studios have observation windows where parents are always welcome and invited to observe.
Over 25 Years of Dancing ♡
At Kay’s, we encourage each individual to grow and thrive in a nurturing environment. Our instructors are caring and passionate about sharing their love of dance with children of all ages and abilities. Our biggest pride is in creating a friendly, fun, family-like atmosphere where students develop grace, self-confidence, and a love for dance. We strive to provide a relaxed, safe, and organized environment to learn and have fun.
Our goal is that each student at our studio feels that they are truly part of our dance family and that they belong. Students will develop their technique, artistry, and creativity by learning important skills and values like self-discipline, teamwork, and responsibility. Dancers can aspire to join our performance teams giving them wonderful experiences and memories they will never forget.
Our school season begins in August and ends in June, concluding with our annual recital. With the exception of our drop-in classes, new students who wish to join must do so in fall in order to perform in the annual recital. Registration for summer classes will begin in April.
