Keshet Dance and Center for the Arts

My husband and I attended our first-ever Keshet event today, which was part of their ABQ Wine Classic fundraiser. What a talented and hard-working group! We are fortunate to have Keshet here in New Mexico.

My daughter is 2 and she loves the creative movement classes that this school offers. Every Saturday morning she wakes up feeling beyond excited to go dance. She also enjoys seeing the older ballet students practice.

We attended a ballet performance today, and it was wonderful! I was taken aback by all the dancers from tiny to older dancers. They all looked like beautiful butterflies. The instructors there are magnificent. They teach through love and patience. If you want your child or grandchild to learn dance, enroll them here, and you will not be disappointed.

I only stopped by to admire the paint job on their 30,000 sq ft warehouse. –Which come to find out is said by Keshet to be the largest mural in NM. FYI it's called 'Momentous Momentum,' was created by Mick Burson in 2018, & executed by 204 volunteers. It covers 3 sides of a very long and large building. "Keshet" means "rainbow" in Hebrew & you'll see at least one of those in there (but west of this image). Check out Keshet's website – they sound like a really admirable outfit.

I love watching my daughter dance and perform there is so much talent there! Its such a wonderful place! Great staff, great instructors, great people!! This place has such an amazing community and I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

I have gotten the best pre-professional dance education I could ask for in New Mexico at Keshet. My teachers are kind and incredibly qualified, and upon completing the KP3 program’s training I would be ready to enter the professional dance world. The most amazing part about Keshet though, is that unlike most cutthroat, competitive dance studios, Keshet fosters a kind, warm and welcoming community that I consider my family. I have grown not only as a dancer but as a person and I don’t think I could say that about other local studios. Please check out Keshet. I couldn’t recommend it more. 💕

I personally am a dancer here, and let me tell you: This is THE MOST inclusive public space I have ever been to, even outside of dance. Literally. You can walk in the door or roll in in a wheelchair and sign up for classes. The classes are on a sliding scale payment from $0-40, allowing any-income families the opportunity to dance! Not only that, the teachers and faculty are incredibly talented and skilled in many forms dance, from Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, release technique contemporary, Lewitsky style Modern, and Improv. The pre-professional program (KP3) is also a great way to incorporate hardcore training with a helpful and loving learning environment. The pre professional program is for ages 8-18. Otherwise, many classes are open for pretty much all wges. All ages, all abilities, all love!

I love it at Keshet, everyone is super nice, helpful, kind, caring, wonderful! This is the best place to dance! I would never leave Keshet for anywhere else!
