FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What type of performances do they do?  KODC studies classical and contemporary styles, focused on Ballet, Contemporary/Modern, Theatrical (Tap/Jazz) and various world styles (Bollywood, Chinese, etc).  

  • Does the dance company only have their performances at the school?  No.  it just depends on the opportunities available.  We have performed at MATCH, Jones Hall, Museum of Fine Arts, Pearl Fincher Museum, San Jacinto College, the Statue of Liberty and more.  We love to collaborate with other organizations, such as: Klein Oak Orchestra, Klein Oak Jazz Band, etc.  

  • Do the dance company members go to conventions, master classes, or things like that?  Yes!  We love to attend conventions (LADM, NYCDA, The Streetz, just to name a few).  And we enjoy having guest artists in to teach master classes and set choreographic works.  

  • Are there any volunteer / financial commitments from parents?  Yes.  We always need volunteers to help with our performances and trips as well as fundraising activities.  The financial commitment consists of the course fee at the beginning of the year, dance attire throughout the year, convention/jam fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.  We do our best to keep it to a minimum but also want students to be able to experience a lot. 

  • So if they are accepted they have to take the class during the school day and Does the class count as fine art credit?  YES.  It is integral that they take the class in order to be a member.  The bulk of our learning / rehearsing happens during class.  Any dance class at Klein Oak can count for FINE ARTS and PE credit.  

  • How many students will be accepted in KODC for next year?  There is no limit to the number of members but I am careful to make sure the organization is not too large yet I want to include as many students as possible to have a dance family/home at Klein Oak
