Kaleena Miller Dance and KMD2

Since 2015, Kaleena Miller Dance has produced 5 concept-driven evening length works, 6 guest performances for the Twin Cities Tap Festival, and have brought incredible percussive dance guest artists to the Twin Cities including Ian Berg, Derick Grant, Naomi Funaki, Nic Gareiss, Caleb Teicher, Lisa La Touche, Max Pollak, Lia Spirka and Dianne Walker. 

In 2018, we started KMD2 - the pre-professional company - to give space for young, emerging Tap Dance artists to develop and showcase their works and thoughts-in-process.

We have been committed to high quality artistic expression through Tap Dance in Minnesota since our inception.

As we enter our 9th year as a company, we are requesting your financial support.

The 2023-24 season brings new commissions, collaborations and venues!!
