About KoDaFe in NYC
KoDaFe in NYC is an international dance festival held by i KADA Contemporary Dance Company. KoDaFe in NYC has grown into a four day dance festival bringing together artists from diverse backgrounds. Together, selected choreographers and i KADA Contemporary Dance Company create intricate choreographies to showcase to the public. As the festival continues to grow, we excitedly are forging a cultural exchange through dance by inviting dance companies, choreographers, and performers to perform in the US and South Korea. We are beginning an exchange program for 2019 with the Busan International Dance Festival. This exchange program will allow us to not only host choreographers from the Busan International Dance Festival, but to also participate in their festival as well. The Busan International Dance Festival, located in the second biggest city in Korea, has been introducing international artists every June in Busan and has been growing as one of the exemplary dance festivals in Korea. i KADA Dance Company aims to build a more peaceful, understanding world through dance and strengthen the international dance community through this cross-cultural exchange. We invite you to be a part of this mission!

The theme of this year’s festival is "Florescence" 

It is honoring and loving ourselves enough to be true to ourselves. We are all from different backgrounds and cultures but like the many flowers that exist, we are all beautiful in our own way. 

"Just as cherry, plum, peach and damson blossoms all possess their own unique qualities, each person is unique. We cannot become someone else. The important thing is that we live true to ourselves and cause the great flower of our lives to blossom." - Daisaku Ikeda

We are accepting applications from all dance genres i.e Contemporary dance, Musical Theatre, Contemporary Ballet, Ballet, Modern, Hip Hop and Traditional dance we are looking forward to sharing the stage with a great range of dance performers!

i KADA is also hosting a special Master class on June 23rd, 2019! For those interested in teaching a workshop, we are offering a $40 package deal for the Master class on June 23rd and for the festival application.
