KDA was founded and launched in September, 2013 in San Diego, by professional dancer, instructor and choreographer, Kanna Burch. Juguemos en Español ($240) No Playball in this camp 3-5 Y Language: Spanish with Wendy Juguemos en Español is a language immersion program, where children get to learn Spanish in a fun way. As part of our philosophy in teaching Spanish for children, we believe in music and laughter as the most effective ways for kids to learn and grow. Why is it important to learn Spanish in the US? Over 27 million homes in the United States have Spanish as their first language and 300 million people worldwide. Research indicates that from ages 1 through 8 is the best time to introduce a new language to a child. The earlier a child is exposed to a second or third language, the more likely they will speak it with fluency and good pronunciation. On a marché sur la lune! ($240) 4-5 Y Language: French with Alexandra Become an astronaut and get ready to discover our solar system and planets for a week. Build a telescope to look at the stars, paint some rocks from another planet and a rocket.

To offer this performing art in its most authentic essence through research and international cultural exchange, we have put together a class for your children to learn the dances, lively history and culture of Mexico. It is a colorful expression of Mexican culture and tradition. These photos show variations of Mexican folkloric dance costumes represented by different regions of Mexico including the States of Jalisco, Yucatan, Veracruz and Sinaloa. Mexican folk dancing, performed to the lively music of mariachi bands, shows the energy and motion of this unique dance style. Your children will get to dress up in traditional clothing. The boys will be wearing the Charro outfit, which means cowboy in Mexico, and the girls will be wearing colorful, embroidered dresses showing the region of each state they represent. They will have fun learning and exploring. We will have lots of activities and at the end we will have a dance performance.
