Dance Centre Kenya

Founded in January 2015, Dance Centre Kenya (DCK) has grown to become Kenya’s pre-eminent dance school with over 700 students taking classes in the three DCK studios (Karen Hardy, Lavington and Rosslyn) and approximately 1,000 more taking DCK taught classes in 22 schools throughout Nairobi. From small beginnings, established by a few families of talented dancers who wished to advance their children’s training, the Plumbe, Shaw/Dolan and Vadera families came together to establish a new dance school in Nairobi.  With very different backgrounds and professions, these families shared the same vision of providing a world class level of training to the children of Kenya.  Professional American ballerina Cooper Rust was brought on board as Artistic Director and so, Dance Centre Kenya was born.
