In O Dance, the O could stand for original: original choreography that expands the vocabulary of dance.

But it probably stands for Jerry Opdenaker, former director of STEP Ahead, who is reinventing the dance company format to one of experimentation and exploration.

The company’s goals are ambitious: to provide a forum for dance and visual artists that is free from boundaries and limitations and to reinterpret the way dances are constructed while solidly holding on to the classical ballet training and technique.

O Dance brings a contemporary appreciation and understanding to the art form during an evening of works created by emerging choreographers for 15 professional dancers, collaborating with accomplished visual artists to create a one-of-a-kind event.
