Fun, safety, & fellowship!

We have really enjoyed our daughter’s gymnastics experience at Kelly’s School of Dance. Not only do they care about safety and proper form, but they care about the hearts of your kids, and they instill good work ethics in these kids.For the 5-6 year old age range, they focus on fun, safety, and fellowship.

Exactly what we were looking for!

KSDA provides exactly the experience we were looking for for our 7 year old daughter who was interested in trying dance. It is affordable and has a wholesome atmosphere. We looked into other dance academies in the area, but the music choice and use of makeup and revealing costumes did not seem age appropriate. My daughter has has a great time at her weekly classes, this is one activity I don't have to push her to go to!

They have adult classes!

I’ve been going to this studio for 2 years and I’m about to start my third! This has been such a fun and faith based community that I’ve loved being a part of. They always answer any questions I’ve had and are sure to involve everyone in their classes! I’ll continue to recommend them to others! My favorite part of this studio is that they have adult classes! It’s been nice to continue my fitness through silks, lyra, trapeze, bungee and more! They even have date nights for couples.

Aerial

Sling

Sling is an aerial silk fabric that is used to develop trust and build grip strength, as well as overcome fears safely. It is a good choice for beginners as it does not require much upper body strength, and foundational aerial terminology learned on the Sling is applicable to other aerial apparatuses such as lyra, rope, silks, and trapeze.

Our students start in Sling 1 & 2 before advancing to Silks.

Aerial

Silks

Silks is an aerial fabric that is used for executing acrobatic movements while hanging or wrapping oneself safely in the fabric. It is considered one of the most beautiful apparatus in the aerial family, but also one of the most difficult due to the extensive upper body strength required. Most skills performed on silks involve holding one’s body weight in the air for a prolonged period of time.

Our students build strength and technique on the Sling to prepare for silks.

Aerial

Lyra

Lyra, also known as the aerial hoop, is a circular steel bar that allows for aerial acrobatics while being below, in, or above the apparatus. It can be static or dynamic and is popular with gymnasts and adults. Unlike Sling and Silks, Lyra does not squeeze or move when weight is placed on it. KSDA provides chalk for extra grip during class and performances. Students will develop calluses on their hands as they master foundational skills and progress to partnering skills, which involve two aerialists performing on a single lyra.

We recommend students start on the Sling first, in order to better prepare the aerialist for the Lyra if they have no gymnastic background. It is extremely beneficial to the aerialist to take a Sling & Lyra class during the same season to strengthen their terminology, technique and endurance.

Aerial

Trapeze

The Trapeze is known for looking like a swing with its horizontal steel bar suspended from two ropes.

There are two types of Trapeze: Static Trapeze and Dynamic/Flying Trapeze. KSDA will be focusing on Static Trapeze. Unlike the Flying Trapeze, the Static Trapeze bar mainly stays in place. Trapeze shares quite a few foundational skills with the Sling and Lyra. This makes Trapeze one of the easier apparatus to add to aerial repertoire if you already have aerial experience.

At KSDA, we combine Lyra & Trapeze into a Combo Class. This is extremely beneficial to the aerialist to practice Trapeze & Lyra during the same class session to strengthen their grip endurance, and aerial terminology, all while improving technique.
