Submissions for Workshop Presenters Due August 31, 2026​
Workshop Choreographers:
Choreographers are invited by the CoDEO board each year to create an original piece and set it on our student attendees. Students are placed in choreographic groups during their first movement session, and typically have 5 hours to learn and rehearse their performance piece.
Choreographers will be selected based on past participation in the conference.
Each year the CoDEO Conference Kick-Off features performers from around the state.
In the interest of featuring all levels of artistry, CoDEO welcomes submissions from:
-
Professional choreographers and companies
-
University Professors and Students
-
Studio teachers and students
-
8th-12th grade teachers and students.
​
Pieces are selected to represent the diversity of dance, culture and experience present in Colorado.
​​
If you are interested in performing in our Kick-Off on Saturday Evening, please submit your piece below!
