This is KEDA!

Welcome to Kinetic Expressions Dance Academy and Companies!

After 20 wonderful years in Volusia County, we are excited to evolve our brand to not only focus on technique and core dance classes but also to establish a comprehensive dance production company for children and adults. Our Company Members must audition for the Academy and will then be selected to represent the company across four tiers: The Expressions Company, (Mini Company (ages 5-7), Junior Company (ages 8-12), Senior Company (ages 13-17)), The Impressions Competition Team,( select dancers from the Expressions Company chosen to represent KEDA at competition), and the Connections Adult Company (for KEDA alumni and dancers aged 18+.) Dancers will train together in classes covering ballet, tap, jazz, modern, contemporary, acro hip hop, and musical theater, preparing for various performances throughout the year.

At KEDA and Companies, our mission is to provide a supportive, inclusive space where dancers, children to adults can develop strong technical skills in a variety of dance styles. Through our commitment to excellence, we prepare our students for a range of performance opportunities. We celebrate the artistry, discipline, and joy of dance while inspiring and empowering dancers of all ages. KEDA and Companies fosters a nurturing, community-centered environment where passion, creativity, and exceptional technique thrive. We aim to cultivate a love for dance, providing diverse opportunities for personal growth, performance, and artistic expression that enrich our community and spark lifelong memories.

while nurturing a sense of community and belonging that extends beyond the studio.
