KDA is not able to offer in-person programs at this time, but we are still on the MOVE! We strive to help our community thrive through physical movement. Research also tells us that physical activity is good for mental health. Where there is a need, we find a way! What better time than now to help people get back to their love for dance, learn how to dance for the first time, or dance in their living room just for fun? There is so much love for dance and movement in Kern County and we want to continue to reach those looking to move and groove from home. To keep in step with our mission, KDA will roll out a series of pop-up digital dance classes and webinars throughout the remainder of the COVID-19 quarantine. Sponsored by Valley Strong Credit Union, we hope you find some time to dance with Kern County dance educators stemming from a variety of dance studios!
