Knecht Dance Company
Our Knecht Dance Company is a group of dedicated and hard working dancers who wish to take their dancing to the next level. Founded in 2002 by Elise Knecht, the Knecht Dance Company has become an opportunity for dancers to cultivate their talent, travel across the country, and make lifelong friends and memories.



The Knecht Dance Company participates in numerous regional competitions throughout the season including one national competition during the summer. Dance competitions give our dancers the opportunity to travel, make new friends, meet talented artists in the industry, and perform outside our Annual Dance Festival. At competitions the KDC is known to bring home scholarship money, trophies, titles, and many high score awards.The Knecht Dance Company is NOT just a competition team. Dance is not about winning the biggest trophy and at Knecht's Danceworks we strive to teach our dancers essential life lessons. By joining the company, dancers are able to perform throughout the community- nursing homes, charity events, parades, etc. Our goal is to give back to the community and have fun while doing it!
