All DWK Dance Foundations, Primary, Junior, Senior, and Ensemble classes participate in KDFA. We are also joined by a number of entries from Dryden’s Stage Door Studio. Dancers perform their dance and then return to the stage, along with all performers in their session, to receive feedback from the adjudicator. After their adjudication dancers are free to leave (or can stay to watch).
If your dancer is sick or there is an emergency on the day of the performance
please notify Erin at info@danceworkskenora.com or by texting 807-464-3666.
Backstage helpers are needed for…
The classes below require 1-2 parents backstage to ensure they stay together, have their proper hair and costume, assist with any quick changes, etc. All other parents drop their dancer off at the backstage area and then proceed to the theatre area if staying to watch. This limits the distractions and congestion backstage for the dancers and volunteers.If you are able to volunteer backstage please email Erin at info@danceworkskenora.com
