Snow Days
Did You Know . . . .
We are very intentional about Watch Weeks here at MKS! Watch Weeks have begun for the 19-20 School Year and are a great way to see your student progress from month to month throughout the school year.
Because we are running 3 classrooms on most days, rotating the Watch Weeks allows for more seating in the lobby for parents.
Our clear viewing windows allow the students to practice performing in front of a live audience that they can see, boosting their confidence and preparing them for the Dance Concert!
Thanks for joining us for Watch Week!
Staff Spotlight
My name is Miss Kim. Teaching here at MKS has been truly a blessing. I love sharing with the students my feelings when I dance. When I hear music my soul is moved to dance and it always makes me smile.
I'm very active at church and love to spend time with Jesus in adoration. I also like to read and spend time with my family.
An interesting fact about myself is I have a Masters Degree in Molecular Biology.

MKS Is A Proud Drop-Off Site!
The holidays are a great time to give! Because our dancers bring shoes to class every week, years ago we chose the Shoeman Water Projects as a ministry to contribute to during the holidays. After meeting our initial goal, we decided to take shoes in all year round indefinitely!
Shoeman Water Projects’ main focus is to provide clean water in communities in developing countries. Access to clean safe water can change everything, including health, education and income. Shoeman has generated revenue to fund these water projects by collecting new and gently used shoes. Their shoe collection efforts improve our planet by keeping wearable, usable shoes out of local landfills and directing them to a secondary market for reuse both locally and globally.” You can make a difference with a few pair of shoes!
Medicine for the Soul - A Veteran's Project
A Los Angeles-based dance company, DIAVOLO, spent two weeks earlier this year working with veterans in Manhattan, Kansas, in what one participant called "medicine for the soul." DIAVOLO, created by Jacques Heim, started the Veterans project three years ago as part of a community outreach project. Heim said part of his goal with the workshop was to restore physical, mental and emotional aspects of the veterans, and he does that through "intense" movements.
