About the Club
Step into a world where every beat counts and every movement tells a story. Our Dance and Creative Movement Club at Ripple Effects invites members to explore diverse dance genres, from classical to contemporary. Beyond choreography, participants also engage in improvisation sessions, where they express themselves freely. With a focus on technique, expression, and fun, the club is a celebration of dance in all its forms.

Kara
Adaptive Dance instructor
My name is Kara Applegate, I am the Adaptive Dance instructor. I love sharing my passion for dance with others, as dance has been a part of my life for a long time. My favorite style is tap, making beats with your feet and letting that rhythm take you has always felt so magical.Â
In my free time I enjoy skiing and racing sailboats, being outside is normally where you can find me.
I incorporate much of my education in our adaptive classes. With my background in mental health, as a child and family therapist in the area I enjoy utilizing music and movement into expression. Expression of feelings, experiences, and stories. Creating a space where dancers can come and share their passion and joy for dance with each other.
I am so excited to get moving and dancing with you!Â
