Frequently asked
For school administrators.
01What dance styles do your trainers cover?+
Most commonly contemporary (modern/lyrical), traditional African (Kalenjin, Luo, Kikuyu, coastal), and ballet basics for foundation work. We don't currently offer hip-hop or ballroom — those are specialist enough that we'd refer you on rather than overclaim.
02How many students can one trainer take in a single session?+
For meaningful choreography work, up to ~20 students works well. Larger groups (cultural-day full-school pieces) run with one lead trainer + 1–2 assistants when budget allows; alternatively we teach a "core team" who then teach the rest.
03How much physical space do we need?+
A hall or covered outdoor space 10m × 10m at minimum. Slippery floors are a problem; we may ask you to add basic non-slip mats for some styles.
04Can the same trainer coach BOTH KMF and the cultural day?+
Yes — common scenario. We extend the same engagement window to cover both performance dates with the same trainer.
05How is the cost structured?+
Quoted per engagement. Variables: weekly hours, total weeks, students count, whether costuming/choreography is original vs adapted. Written quote within one working day.
06Are your dance trainers vetted for working with children?+
Yes — every Concerto trainer is background-checked and briefed on safeguarding before working with under-18s. We can share trainer credentials and prior-school references at the quote stage.
