Innovative Choreography is thrilled to be partnering with Oklahoma City University to bring a collegiate dance combine to Oklahoma for the first time. Colleges and universities from the midwest will be in attendance to recruit and represent their programs. For a complete and updated list of colleges and universities involved, please visit
https://www.innovativechoreography.com/innovative-college-combine.
Innovative Choreography faculty members will teach technique, a pom sideline, a hip hop combination, and a review a jazz combination (you will receive the jazz choreography ahead of time). Participants will have an opportunity to demonstrate each routine for the collegiate coaches. Throughout the day, dancers will interact with coaches through scheduled mingle sessions. Additionally, all participants will be provided a list of coaches and contact information. Likewise, all coaches will be provided a list of participants and contact information. Seniors will have an optional opportunity to stay at the end of the Combine for Innovative Choreography staff members to record each of the three combinations. Videos will then be complied and shared with the senior as well as all college coaches.
Once you navigate to the Oklahoma City University Campus, find the Henry J Freede Wellness Center on 27th between Kentucky and Florida Avenue. Dancers are encouraged to wear formed-fitting dance attire (tanks, sports bras, etc). Please come game day ready! You may wear your hair down and wear performance makeup. You are welcome to bring shoes and extra clothes for the hip hop combo. We will have each grade level wear a different color top to distinguish their age:
Freshmen - Grey
Sophomores - Grey
Juniors - Black
Seniors - any color top (please avoid grey and black)
College students - any color top (please avoid grey and black)
Please pack a lunch, snacks, and water!
On Wednesday, September 8th, 1.5 weeks prior to the Innovative College Combine, we will share a video of the jazz choreography with you. We encourage you to learn it and come ready to perform. Technique, pom sideline, and hip hop choreography will all be taught live, in-person at the Combine on September 19th.
All high school dancers will receive feedback from a collegiate dancer and/or Innovative Staffer! We hope this addition will provide even more education, support, and encouragement to every dancer in attendance.
All high school dancers will be given paper with their names on it. As you visit the college tables, drop off a piece of paper in the drawing on each table. The more colleges you visit, the more chances you have to win some gear, swag, prizes, and awards! Drawing will occur during the Combine Wrap Up at the end of the day.
NEW SENIOR OPPORTUNITY: All Class of 2022 Seniors are invited to stay from 3:15-4:00 for an optional recording opportunity. Innovative Choreography staff members will record you performing all three combinations. We will compile the videos and share them with you AND all of the attending college coaches. This opportunity individually showcases your talents for the coaches, and coaches can refer to your video at any time! Additionally, you will have all video files for your future needs: audition videos, reels, etc.
