KMC Dance Albertville
About
The KMC studios were started in 1958 by Kay Marie and Carol. Their first studio was located in Robbinsdale and they expanded to other communities by opening studios in Shorewood, Arlington and Albertville. They have trained hundreds of dancers in the 50 plus years of business. All of the instructors that KMC employs are former dancers of Kay Marie and Carol. We have been honored to teach many dancers in the STMA since opening the Albertville location in 1995.
Kay Marie and Carol believed in using your talent of dance to give back to others. Along with yearly recitals and competitions, dancers participate in many community activities. They travel to local care centers and nursing homes during the holiday season to perform holiday shows. They have worked with the Make-a-Wish foundation, Toys for Tots, The Gifts for Seniors Program and the Ronald McDonald House.
The KMC studio maintains strong family values by choosing costumes and choreography that are age appropriate for dancers and music choices that do not contain inappropriate lyrics. We believe that parents should be paying for quality dance instruction, which is why we use correct terminology and encourage proper body placement and technique in all of our dancers. We have an open studio policy which means we encourage parents, friends and relatives to sit in the studio while class is being taught. Children grow up so quickly and we want to give parents the opportunity to watch how much they learn and grow in their dance class each week.
Kay Marie and Carol decided that after 58 years of owning their studios it was time to retire. Christine Cliff took ownership of the Albertville location where she has been teaching since it’s opening in 1995. She is excited and honored to carry on the traditions and values that Kay Marie and Carol have set in place
