Since 1986 the Mountain Kids organization has offered a wide range of dance and movement classes for toddlers, kids, and teens. Mountain Contemporary Dance Arts states that its dance program focuses on the unique artistic, technical, and creative development of each dancer and is dedicated to giving students positive and healthy movement experiences through the art of dance. The program is committed to cultivating each dancer’s unique potential through safe, positive, experiential, and enjoyable learning, and to fostering dancers’ physical, mental, social, and emotional intelligence.

The staff at Mountain Contemporary Dance Arts is described as highly credentialed and specializing in contemporary dance techniques and creative movement, with a team of professional, talented, motivating, and mature instructors who have advanced degrees in dance and education and years of experience and training. The program offers individually tailored, artistry-focused dance training and is described as one of only a few schools in the state to offer a contemporary modern dance curriculum for all ages. It presents a professional and healthy dance curriculum that reflects evolving concert dance forms students may encounter at the collegiate and professional level, and it offers master classes and field trips to professional dance concerts in the community. Several professional dance companies are in residency, and the program focuses on non-competitive performance and developing a deeper appreciation of the arts through collaboration and exploration. Studios are available for rental for dance, yoga, music, movement instruction, rehearsals, parties, and private events.

According to parent testimonials, families report positive experiences with staff and class offerings at Mountain Contemporary Dance Arts and Mountain Kids, including Rainbow Riders (PK), the ballet/tap combo class, and the Sweet Pea class. Parents describe instructors who teach posture, position, and vocabulary, and mention that their children stay moving and engaged in classes. Some parents state that their children have “blossomed” in Rainbow Riders, admire their teachers, and feel at home in the program, and one family notes participation in an in-house invitation-only dance company. Multiple testimonials mention a non-competitive dance program, a variety of technique classes, and annual recitals for all ages, and some parents say they see improvement in their children and that their children love ballet, tap, and other classes at the facility.

Mountain Contemporary Dance Arts notes that its annual recitals fund local non-profits in Boulder County.
