Welcome! My name is Kim Shope. After 14 years as a professional dancer with the Kansas City Ballet, I retired from dancing and opened the Midtown School of Dance. I recently created a partnership with the Kansas City Young Audiences and now hold ballet classes at their Community School of the Arts. I studied at KCB School and the School of American Ballet (SAB) in New York City.
