KCBCII x JDC
What is KCBC?
Klassic Contemporary Ballet Company
KCBCII was originally a summer intensive for pre-professional dancers ranging from 12-18 years of age. As of 2019 KCBCII will be a year round program where dancers are exposed to multiple learning aspects of dance; such as the conditioning, technique, and performance quality it takes to be in a professional company. This program is geared towards the goal of performing and everything that come along with being a professional dancer. Everything from the responsibilities, resumes, headshots, and learning of choreography from professional dancers and choreographers will be presented to these students.
We will be holding auditions for the KCBCII year round performance company. The second company will have the opportunity to dance in all of KCBC’s shows as well as other performances.
Klassic Contemporary Ballet Company
KCBC is one of Philadelphia’s premier contemporary ballet companies. Founded in 2016 by Kimberly D. Landle, the company is currently entering its fourth season. KCBC was founded on the idea of challenging the boundaries of classical ballet. The company and the choreographers try pushing the dancers’ bodies to explore movement that extends past the classical format while continuously exploring and challenging the body to venture in new directions. Klassic Contemporary Ballet Company is committed to creating work that not only engages the body, but truly tries to connect both the dancer and the audience through all emotional, mental, and physical states. Allowing our dancers to tap into their most genuine emotions and making each piece unique to them, all while studying and trying to understand current and past events. Under the direction of Landle the company is creating art that is athletic, dynamic, and emotionally charged all while staying true to the fluidity, grace, and vigorous use of technique in classical ballet.
