ABOUT THE COMPANY

Kinetic Convergence Dance Collective (KCD) was founded in August of 2023 by co-founders Karter Bernhardt, Brooklyn Draper, and Hannah Dusek. The idea behind KCD came from two recent college graduates and their professor, who had a vision for more dance opportunities in Missoula. After taking the entire summer of 2023 to figure out what this collective would look like, KCD was announced to the community and finally brought to life.
