About
Dance Kaleidoscope School offers dance classes through a program that includes 34 weekly classes serving over 200 students. The program operates in a shared studio space where the company and staff work together under one roof, and the studio is also made available to community groups and artists.
• Price: $5 tickets and deeply discounted dance class tuition fees through the scholarship program (via the Access Pass Program).
Founded in 1972, Dance Kaleidoscope is now in its 54th season and is recognized as one of the Midwest’s longest-performing professional dance companies. The organization presents four unique main stage performances in Indianapolis each year with diverse work created by industry leading choreographers and showcases athleticism and technical expertise in contemporary dance. The leadership team includes Christel DeHaan Artistic Director Joshua Blake Carter and Artistic Director Emeritus David Hochoy, who retired from his position as Artistic Director at the end of the 2022–2023 season after 32 years of service, coinciding with Dance Kaleidoscope’s 50th Anniversary Season. The mission of Dance Kaleidoscope is to inspire, educate, and entertain through the experience of outstanding contemporary dance.
Dance Kaleidoscope has collaborated with the Damien Center, Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, Ballet Hispanico, Phoenix Rising Dance Company, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The organization has joined forces with other Indianapolis cultural institutions through the Access Pass Program to make dance experiences accessible with $5 tickets and deeply discounted dance class tuition fees through its scholarship program. It makes its studio available to community groups and artists, enables students to discover dance through various educational programs, performs on the Eskenazi Health Main Campus as part of the Marianne Tobias Music Program, and supports other nonprofit organizations such as the Damien Center, the Firefly Children and Family Alliance, and the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir. One testimonial from within the organization states, “It’s humbling to be retiring at the end of the 50th Anniversary Season. We’ve been reflecting on the past but mostly we are all looking forward together to an exciting and sustainable future for Dance Kaleidoscope.”
