Innovative Choreography is thrilled to be partnering with the University of Kansas to bring a collegiate dance combine to the Kansas City area for the fourth year. 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

Dancers will begin the day with an opportunity to have professional headshots and full body photos taken by the amazing Alexis Close of B.Close Photography. All photos will be made available to purchase! Innovative Choreography faculty members will teach technique, a pom sideline, a hip hop combination, and a jazz combination. 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.
The Robinson Center at the University of Kansas is located at 1301 Sunnyside Avenue, Lawrence, Kansas 66045. 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 & Current College Students - any color top (please avoid grey and black)
Please pack a lunch, snacks, and water!
On Wednesday, November 24th, 1.5 weeks prior to the Innovative College Combine, we will share a video of the jazz choreography and hip hop choreography with all participants. Dancers are encouraged to learn both routines and come ready to perform. Technique and pom sideline choreography will all be taught live, in-person at the combine on December 5th.
All high school dancers will receive feedback from a collegiate dancer and/or an Innovative Staffer! We hope this addition will provide even more education, support, and encouragement to every dancer in attendance.
