KF Turns Lab
Join an exclusive 6 week training period to improve your turns!
The KF labs are all about TRAINING.
The Turns Lab is a 6-week, 12-hour program designed to help dancers better understand the mechanics behind efficient, controlled, and expressive turns.
PROGRAM DETAILS:
Dates: July 15, 2026 – August 19, 2026
Format: 6-week program. 12 hours total. 2-hour sessions
Participation Options: In-Person and Online
Tuition: $350 Early Bird pricing through June 15th. (Regular Price $400)
Rather than focusing solely on repetition, this Lab combines movement exploration, technical exercises, guided experimentation, discussion, reflection, and application to help students develop a deeper understanding of how turning works.
Throughout the program, we will explore concepts such as alignment, balance, weight transfer, rotation, momentum, preparation, spotting, timing, coordination, and body awareness. Participants will receive worksheets and reflection prompts designed to support their learning both inside and outside of class.
This is a hands-on learning environment where questions are encouraged and curiosity is welcomed. Students can expect to move, experiment, observe, analyze, and apply concepts in real time rather than simply memorizing rules or patterns.
Concepts explored throughout the Lab will be applied through exercises, drills, and movement sequences designed to help participants integrate their understanding into their dancing.
No matter your current level, the goal of this Lab is not simply to complete more turns, but to better understand the principles that make turning possible.
All dancers will also be added to a WhatsApp group with Karel to ask questions and interact with each other outside of the Wednesday classes.
