KPA provided me with a healthy and supportive environment to pursue my competitive and performance goals in Irish dance. Thanks to the school’s excellent instructors, healthy environment, and expert choreography that was tailored to my strengths as a dancer, I won several major titles and finished second at the World Championships two times! I am so grateful for this program and KPA’s team for pushing me as a dancer and as a person.
