Beginning with two students, Kris taught evening classes after full days of rehearsal.
Seeing a need to make ballet accessible to those who had never danced as well as those who wished to continue to dance for the joy of it, Kris took over the struggling adult program when she became a company member of Colorado Ballet.
Beginning with two students, Kris taught evening classes after full days of rehearsal. The program grew through two studio moves and twenty years as a result of Kris’ dedication.
When she stopped performing in 1998, Kris focused on expanding the offerings for adult students. The program now covers a full range of ability from beginners to professionals/former professionals.
In 2002 the Executive Director of Colorado Ballet at the time suggested that Kris take ownership of the adult program (run as a part of the academy until then) and run it as an independent business while remaining in the Colorado Ballet studio space.
The summer of 2009 provided the opportunity to open and move her expanding adult program to a home of its own, Denver Dance Center. The space also provides a rental venue to other teachers and professionals to teach and create.
Denver Dance Center offers drop-in, open classes for intermediate to professional level adult dancers. We hold classes 7 days per week, including most holidays.
Our dance studio gives the artist in everyone, the opportunity to grow and flourish in a comfortable and supportive environment.
