DANCE SAFETY:
IBT continues to be in constant contact with the local health department, as well as international and local educators and directors in dance. With collaborative support, IBT transitioned to virtual learning at the beginning of the pandemic. With student and family safety the first priority, IBT continues to follow health recommendations during the return to in-person and hybrid learning.
IBT CONTINUES TO GROW
IBT continues in-person education, with an ongoing option for zooming classes, which has been a very successful and safe option for both teachers and students. Performance opportunities for our dancers in local communities continue to occur as IBT continues to train, audition, perform, and spread the joy of dancing!
ZOOM DANCE
IBT's virtual classes were a comfort for the children when they were initially sent home for the first quarantine in March of 2020. Zoom continues to be a source of support at IBT.
2021 WITH IBT
This year has started with gusto at IBT! As classes continue, our students are training and learning new dance choreography for our 2021 outdoor performance review in June. IBT is also planning virtual classes for the community, to provide opportunities to move and dance for everyone.
Kaleidoscope 2021
The IBT Company, which ranges from pre-professional to adult professional dancers, was excited to started rehearsals for a very special, "Kaleidoscope 2021", a tribute to Molley Lanham. Choreographed by IBT alumni Lindsey Lanham, "Kaleidoscope" brings back familiar faces of IBT alumni, while featuring current Company dancers. More information coming soon!
Jazz Showcase
IBT’s Kristy Victor and Amanda Tuohy are choreographing a new collaborative piece for our contemporary jazz showcase “Standing Room Only” which will also feature eight major works by Company choreographer and modern dance instructor Christie Kamanaroff, a Columbia College Dance and Performing Arts graduate. Performance dates, showtimes, and location coming soon!
