The ever-growing popularity of Cynthia King Dance Studio (CKDS) is a testament to Artistic Director Cynthia King’s commitment to progressive dance education. CKDS has been a vital part of Brooklyn’s rich dance culture for nearly two decades, consistently presenting relevant and thought-provoking work. Now embarking upon its twentieth year, the studio continues to train dancers of all ages and abilities in its dance center in Flatbush.
Our goal is to provide our students with the tools necessary to reach their full potential, as technicians, artists, and members of an ensemble. We believe that dancers excel in a structured environment, in which hard work and dedication are valued, and success is earned. Whether learning to be on time for class, or how to execute a grand jeté, our students are taught invaluable lessons that will help them throughout their lives.
Tap is a historical dance form that emphasizes rhythm, syncopation and musicality of the feet in tap shoes. Combinations can be performed to music with the feet following the beats provided, or without music (a cappella) where the feet generate the musicality on their own.
Students ages 7 and up are invited to move beyond the combination class into a 45-minute tap technique class. This, fun, high energy class will emphasize proper tap progressions, styles, and rhythms. Tap students will perform one routine in the Spring Recital.
This class introduces students to the fundamentals of tap dance. Students will learn tap terminology while working on the embodiment of rhythm, coordination, and musicality. (Suggested attire: comfortable clothing for movement, tap shoes)
Classes are fun and fast-paced and are offered to students ages 5+ in tap. Tap is an excellent way to develop rhythm, coordination, dexterity, and agility that carries over to other dance disciplines, academics, and athletics.
Theater and Rhythm tap classes are offered to tappers of all ages and levels starting at 5 years old. JazzJazz classes explore varieties of dance styles, and start at the age of five.
