"Everything IS beautiful at the ballet! Dance Kids of Monterey should be very proud. My personal fave is the little guy in the black pants and red top with all of those little girls. And my congratulations to his parents for introducing him to what dancing feels like. There is nothing else quite like it."

From the Executive Director:
Dance Kids was founded in Carmel sixteen years ago at CAPA, moved across the street into a very small office space and then moved to Monterey for the past decade with offices at Alvarado and Del Monte Avenues. I'm very pleased to announce that we've moved back home to Carmel at Sunset Center (a few months ago) and now are located in Cottage # 17 next door to the Carmel Bach Festival Office; in fact we share a conference room for meetings. It's a great space and I'd like to thank Peter Lesnik, Executive Director of Sunset Center for making the space available for us. The timing was perfect and we all love the new space and neighbors!
Please note that our address and telephone number has changed to: Dance Kids of Monterey County, PO Box 6225, Carmel, CA 93921. The new office phone number is 622-9008.
