About this studio
Kindred Dance & Events is run by Kayla Sloan, who began teaching Ballroom dance at 20 and has spent two decades building a practice rooted in making movement feel safe and joyful. Her philosophy is simple: learning happens without shame, and trying something new is celebrated. She teaches Ballroom and West Coast Swing — the latter a style she fell in love with for its expressiveness, playfulness, and endless evolution. In 2016, her work naturally expanded into the wedding world, where she helps couples choreograph their first dances and parent dances, watching families reconnect through movement. More recently, after completing her 200-hour yoga training following two decades of personal practice, she has added yoga to her offerings.
Kayla's approach to wedding choreography is bespoke. She offers three packages: the VIP Wedding package (10 private lessons, 45 minutes each, with choreography, music editing, and video recaps for $1200); the Step by Step package (5 lessons for $675, ideal for couples wanting to keep it simple or work on parent dances and wedding party entrances); and a Crash Course (one 60-minute session for $145, designed for couples with little time before their wedding or those in long-distance relationships). Clients consistently report that she makes lessons fun and comfortable, accommodates unique requests, and delivers results that impress wedding guests.
The studio is located at 600 E 8th St in Kansas City, Missouri. Whether you're preparing a wedding dance, stepping into West Coast Swing, or beginning a yoga journey, the intention is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and free to move in your own way.
