Our melodies, beats, and more ambient sounds evoke a particular feeling or atmosphere explored in our dances. Sometimes musical, sometimes silent, but always emotive: Musical accompaniment comes from many genres classical, contemporary, traditional, pop, musical theatre, alternative, contemporary, electronic, folk, world music, or sometimes silence. Some pieces are fun and uplifting, some are abstract, and some tell a narrative story. Our pieces communicate profound ideas exploring challenging themes such as identity, connection and disconnection, global issues, peace, and the human experience. Our audiences are engaged and inspired as they witness young people perform their own choreography, as well as dances by local and national dance artists. There is something for everyone, from age two to ninety-two, at a Kaleidoscope concert.Ībout movement and beyond: You’ll experience performers leap, turn, lift, twist, fall, bend, and balance in a seamless flow of shifting patterns and shapes, connecting and separating.

By youth of all ages, for audiences of all ages: The Kaleidoscope Dance Company features youth performers ages 7 to 17 dancing together, completely committed, and focused on their art.
