Under the leadership of School Director Kimi Okada, our teen contemporary dance company performs work by the choreographers of our professional company, ODC/Dance (Brenda Way, KT Nelson, and Kimi Okada), as well as renowned guest choreographers who have included Katie Faulkner, Robert Dekkers, Dexandro Montalvo, and Scott Wells. Members of the Dance Jam are challenged with the creation of new works, high-performance standards, and the complexities of training in multiple dance techniques. They engage in dance mentorship with other students in the Youth & Teen Program, and are offered the unique opportunity of working in intimate studio settings with ODC/Dance. With guidance from ODC staff, the Dance Jam produces their annual home season, expanding their skill set and understanding of work within a professional dance company. Students are held to the highest standards of attendance, behavior, and discipline. Students are expected to be available for additional rehearsals between the Fall and Spring Sessions (December 11, 2017 – January 12, 2018).
