About

We envision an inclusive artistic community for folx of all backgrounds to heal, explore, and inspire.

Through dance, Kaboom imagines a creative sanctuary that highlights cross disciplinary collaboration and celebrates queerness.

dancers in red light

Kaboom is a queer-led dance company that pushes boundaries and centers diversity by creating space for multidisciplinary dance performances and programming.

Kaboom Dance Project does not discriminate on basis of race, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, nation of origin, military status, disability, citizenship, gender identification, expression, or financial status. We know there is no such place as a safe space, that being said we will do our utmost to create a harmonious compassionate center to learn in.

We create multidisciplinary works that often recount or reveal a contemporary engagement with queerness, resistant relationships to schemes of oppression and power, cultural constraints on the body and interpersonal relationships, and other revelatory themes.

If one rises, we all rise.

Transparency

Hip-hop

This class is designed to introduce hip-hop culture through the element of dance. Beginning with a basic warm-up to stretch and tone the body, this class will challenge every dancer with the dynamics of movement and challenging combinations. In a non-competitive environment, this class encourages individualized style while staying true to the technique.

Contemporary

A fusion of modern, ballet and jazz, this unique style explores a wide range of expressive movements and syncopated rhythms. Class is designed to work on finding freedom in the use of movement while developing your technique and building a strong foundation. Each class involves learning original choreography while focusing on theatrical elements and mastering musicality.

Vogue

Vogue is at it's core a self-expression through femininity. This style of vogue focuses femininity on through the five elements of hand performance, floor performance, catwalk, duckwalk, and dips. Class will begin by conditioning flexibility and body awareness, drill the 5 elements of vogue, and learn a choreographed combo with a focus on personal essence and musicality.

This is an expressive, full-body movement class that will challenge your agility, strength, and awareness of getting to and from the floor. For it to truly be vogue, we’ll emphasize the expression of character, confidence, and storytelling in your movement, all while building your core foundation of vogue’s 5 elements.

Afro'Dance

Afro'Dance class is a mixture of the new generation of African influences and street dance. In the class, dancers will work on musicality heavily influenced by the rhythm and musical trends from the Congo, Ivory Coast, Angola, and beyond.
