LaDonna von Stoetzel

When my best friend started dancing in college, I wanted to learn more, and was immediately smitten with the art. I began my dance training with the Aalim School of Dance in 2007, and have been a devoted student of Middle Eastern and American Tribal Style® dance ever since.

After several years of raqs sharqi classes, I connected with Tasha-Rose, proprietor of Minnesota’s first FCBD® sister studio, Kamala Chaand Dance Company. I fell in love with the dance style, and worked hard to learn as much as possible.

In September 2017, ownership of the company was passed to me, and I have rebranded as KCDC Studio, paying homage to my roots as well as reflecting my vision for a more ‘punk rock attitude.
