We switched to Kinetic Dance Force from another dance studio and love how we aren't just a number. Kerri knows the kids and has SO much patience! The way my daughter has grown there is unbelievable! She started in the rec program and is now in the competitive program. I remember last year when she tried 1 dance in the competitive program, nervous that the music was so fast! Now, she can't do anything but fast music because it's too boring! Thank you, Kerri, for not only making my daughter a great dancer, but teaching her confidence!

Kinetic Dance Force is an exceptional dance studio! Miss Kerri is an incredible teacher who is passionate, supportive, and dedicated to helping every dancer grow. The entire staff—including the teachers and student teachers—creates a positive, encouraging environment where every dancer feels welcomed and valued.

Whether your child is looking for recreational classes, competition opportunities, or you're an adult wanting to get back into dance, KDF truly has something for everyone.

More than just a dance studio, KDF becomes a second family. The friendships, encouragement, and sense of community make it such a special place.

We couldn't be happier to be part of the KDF family!

Our experience at Kinetic Dance Force has been great. The instructors are very patient with my youngest daughter (who is three) and my oldest daughter who is five absolutely loves the classes! I highly recommend this program for you and your family.

Great dance studio! My daughter has made so many new friends (me as well) and Miss Kerri is just as sweet as can be to the kiddos! If you want to build friendships at the same time as learn how to become a beautiful dancer then this is the place for you!

I have seen firsthand the family atmosphere and the growth of the students that attend KDF, it is truly remarkable to see a child from the beginning of the season through recital and national competition evolve and build not only their skills but confidence and learn team work while creating new long lasting friendships. If you or your child are interested in choosing a dance school, you owe it to yourself to check out KDF. I highly recommend and you will not be disappointed.

As a dad, I honestly didn't know much about dance when we first signed our girls up. I just wanted them to have something they enjoyed. What I didn't expect was to find a place that feels like an extension of our family.

Miss Kerri has a way of making every kid feel like they belong. She's patient, encouraging, and knows how to challenge each dancer without making them feel overwhelmed. You can tell she genuinely cares about the kids, not just how they perform on stage.

Watching our girls grow in confidence over the past few years has been one of the best parts. They look forward to going to dance every week, and that's because of the environment that's been created at Kinetic Dance Force.

The recitals are always impressive, the choreography is beautiful, and everything is well organized. But what stands out to me most is how much heart goes into the studio. We've never felt like just another family walking through the door.

If you're a parent who's looking for more than just dance lessons, I'd highly recommend Kinetic Dance Force. It's a place where kids are encouraged, families are welcomed, and you can tell the people there truly care.

This summer we have attended a beginner dance lesson for tap and ballet. It has been a great experience. The instructor is patient, encouraging, and explained each step clearly. The class was welcoming and fun, making it easy to feel comfortable even with no prior dance experience. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to start dancing.

There are a lot of dance studios out there, but Kinetic Dance Force has felt like home to us since day one.

The biggest reason is Miss Kerri. She's always in the studio working directly with the kids, and she's amazing at meeting each dancer where they're at. Whether it's your child's very first class or they've been dancing for years, she makes everyone feel included, supported, and confident enough to keep growing.

What we've appreciated most is that she takes the time to really know her dancers and their families. We've never felt like just another dance family. She's been patient, understanding, and encouraging with both of our girls, and she's always helped them grow in a way that fits who they are.

The choreography is beautiful, the recitals are so well done, and you can tell how much care goes into every detail. More than teaching dance, Miss Kerri creates an environment where kids feel safe to learn, make mistakes, and enjoy what they're doing.

We're so thankful we found Kinetic Dance Force. It's a place we're excited to come back to every week, and we'd recommend it to anyone looking for a studio that truly cares about its dancers and families.

Also — babies are always welcomed!

Amazing studio. My daughter has danced with them since 1st grade. All the teachers are very knowledgeable, professional and caring. My daughter started dancing recreationally and has moved up to dancing competitively with the studio. I couldn't ask for a better dance studio to teach my daughter!

I love their program. The leader is a very professional person and the teachers are very friendly with our little ones. They make our little ones feel happy and comfortable while learning and the recital was awesome! Can't wait for next year's recital.

Kinetic Dance Force is an exceptional dance school. Kerri Lake is an excellent teacher. She offers both recreational and competition classes for kids and adolescents. Adult classes too! KDF becomes a second family; my daughter's dance girlies are her besties. The climate is one of nurturance and supports continued growth both in dance but also as an individual.

I danced at KDF from 6th grade to when I graduated high school, and it was the best decision. All the dancers receive amazing training, no matter what classes you take. All of the teachers are so kind and have your best interest. If you are looking for a place to start or continue your dance journey, KDF is the best place to be!
