About this studio
Kadanse—the name means "can dance"—is built on the belief that everyone can learn to dance. The studio is run by Fitz Gerald and Kelley St. Hilaire, who bring 20 years of teaching and pro-am dance experience. They met on the dance floor at a local salsa club in 2006 and went on to train and compete in Professional American Rhythm style, earning Rising Star Finalist honors at prestigious competitions including Ohio Star Ball, Holiday Dance Classic, Manhattan Dancesport, and the Yankee Classic. They have also competed and performed internationally in Canada and the Caribbean. Kadanse celebrated its 10th year as a studio in 2019.
The studio teaches a wide range of styles across ballroom, Latin, swing, and country genres. Group lessons run Monday and Wednesday evenings, rotating through styles: the Mondays 6:45pm Beginner to Intermediate Ballroom & Latin class covers dances like Waltz, Rumba, and Quickstep depending on the month; the 7:30pm Monday slot focuses on Social Dance with styles like Merengue and Bachata; and Wednesdays offer Intermediate to Advanced Ballroom & Latin, plus a separate Mambo class at 7:30pm. All group lessons are 45 minutes long.
Beyond weekly classes, Kadanse runs a regular social calendar.
