Karen Bordon Dance Academy

Here’s to another fantastic season ahead for everyone at Team KBDA. We couldn’t be more proud of every single dancer who passes through our doors. Dance is for everyone, which is why we’ve created both recreational and competitive classes to suit all ages.

Here’s to making more wonderful memories in the new term ahead. 🩵

We’re delighted to announce that our Acro teacher, Bethany is now a certified Acrobatic Arts teacher, having passed both the practical and written assessment, achieving an outstanding 100% on her written paper.✨

Thanks also to Miss Lana Gibson for taking time out of school last week, to help Bethany with the practical side of her exam.🤸‍♂️

Exciting times here at KBDA. 🩵🩵

A very warm welcome to all our new starts and of course it was lovely to see everyone back in class. 🥺 Well done to everyone - you all settled so well into class. We know starting somewhere new can be a little daunting but safe to say you took it in your stride. A special mention for our little ones - we’re so very proud of you all and how well you did.🥰

How lucky we are to still be in business after all these years. To watch dancers we taught as little girls, return as mums themselves, with their own little dancers, is something we never take for granted. Likewise to see siblings join their older sisters in classes is a joy to watch.

Family is at the very heart of everything we do here at KBDA. Here’s to the best season, with the best Team.

✨ Alone, we can do so little…🩵
✨ Together, we can do so much…🩵

And the good news just keeps coming for Team KBDA… 🤩

Once again we’re so very proud of all those who put themselves forward for auditions this weekend with Spiller’s Pantomimes & Imagine Theatre.

And so panto season auditions are once again upon us…oh yes they are!

Warmest congratulations to Anna, Lucy and Sophia T, who successfully auditioned today for Imagine Theatres “Goldilocks and the 3 Bonnie Bears” at the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow. Well done also to Grace who got reserve (out of 400 dancers).🧸🧸🧸

And not forgetting Caitlyn who successfully auditioned yesterday for Imagine Theatres, “Beauty and The Beast” at The Adam Smith Theatre, Kirkcaldy. 🥀💛

We are so proud of EVERY single dancer who put themselves forward for these auditions - a special thank you to all our parents for taking time out of their own busy schedules to chaperone the girls. Team work at its best.🥺

It’s going to be a busy time here at KBDA but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Take a bow girls.🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

Final spaces available for the new term which starts on 1st of Sept are as follows:-

Little Stars - 2 spaces

Rec 2 - 1 space

Mini Show Class - 1 space - NOW FULL❗️

All other classes are currently full. Please do get in touch if wishing to be added to any of our waiting lists. We never take for granted the support shown to the Academy, especially as we enter our 44th season. Family is at the heart of everything we do here at KBDA - we can’t wait to see everyone soon.🥰

✨ Alone, we can do so little…
✨ Together, we can do so much…🩵
