About KDC

Karisma Dance Company opened its doors in 2016 in Glenview, IL. Our mission has always been centered around creating an environment that fosters passion, creativity, and enthusiasm within our students. Founded by studio owner and director Karly Walchli, KDC has become more than anything we could have imagined! We offer a variety of recreational and competitive programs that teach dancers artistry through movement and proper technical training at all ages. At KDC, we believe that anyone can, and should, dance! The discipline, self-confidence, and artistic concepts we cultivate in our studio are transferable to all areas of your dancer’s life.

We feel beyond grateful to have expanded into a 4000+ square foot facility this year to be able to provide more classes and opportunities for your dancers. We offer a multitude of recital classes, acro classes, 5-week intensive courses, and non-recital technique classes. On top of this, we are continuing to grow and advance our Jr. Ramblerette Allstar program and 4 award-winning competitive companies. 

Come join our KDC family today!
