KC DANCE & FITNESS, LLC, Company
In August 2012, Kristin Celano formed Daycare Dance Academy (DDA) with the mission to provide quality dance and fitness education in childcare centers and schools throughout Maryland. Then in September 2015, in order to accommodate graduates of the academy and other dancers, DDA expanded to include classes open to the public at various locations. Kristin soon realized that the academy's name no longer suited this new mission of the business brought on by the expansion. So, in July 2017, KC DANCE & FITNESS, LLC was formed. We pride ourselves in providing exceptional dance and fitness classes, without adding to the already busy schedules of parents. This convenience truly sets our program apart from other dance programs without sacrificing the student's education!
