Dance Kaleidoscope, Indiana’s longest-dancing professional contemporary dance company since 1972, is celebrating its 47th season (2018-19). As a mainstay of its mission, DK consistently brings the finest quality dance performances to diverse audiences of all ages with a strong emphasis on arts education.
DK grew out of an educational program with Arts for Learning Indiana: Voice of the Arts (formerly Young Audiences of Indiana), the local chapter of the national arts organization that supports arts in education and has maintained a partnership with Arts for Learning throughout its history. Through its educational programs, the company has performed in hundreds of schools throughout Indiana and the country and annually presents dozens of student matinees and workshops that serve thousands of school children. A compelling aspect for DK’s education programs is its firm belief that the art of dance is an important tool for our children’s education and their ability to learn.
DK’s Mission:
To inspire, educate and entertain through the experience of outstanding contemporary dance.
Goals:
-
To create, produce and maintain a repertoire of outstanding dance by internationally recognized choreographers.
-
To strengthen and broaden the understanding and appreciation of contemporary dance.
-
To develop and sustain diverse audiences.
-
To provide increasing access and exposure to dance through development of informative educational programs for children.
-
To be a cultural ambassador of the Indianapolis community and the State of Indiana
