The Alloy School

KST Presents

Saturday, March 13, 2021 | 9:00am – 12:15pm

Join us on Zoom! | Pay What Makes You Happy!

The Alloy School is a creative and noncompetitive community where professional dancers guide learning. The whole family can enjoy Alloy School’s diverse range of classes including West African, Latin Styles, Capoeira, Hip-Hop, Ballet/Jazz and Ballet dance styles.

KST is delighted to be partnering with PearlArts to relaunch The Alloy School as a virtual learning platform via Zoom until we are able to gather again safely in person. Classes have been programmed by PearlArts with their expertise in dance forms and educational practices.

The winter session begins Saturday, March 6 and runs through April 10. It is the first of an ongoing rotation of classes that will be offered in six week sessions. Registration is currently available through KST’s signature Pay What Makes You Happy! pricing program. Sign your child up for classes, or choose a family registration and make it an event for everyone!
