KCA is home to Keshet Dance Company, Keshet Dance Education & Keshet Ideas & Innovation Community
Founded in 1996, Keshet's mission is to inspire and unite community by fostering unlimited possibilities through dance, mentorship and a creative space for the arts.
Our professional dancers work with the community as instructors and mentors to provide young artists with guidance along a professional career path, increase youth health and self-esteem, provide a strong base of positive mentorship for homeless and incarcerated youth and demolish misconceptions about individuals with physical disabilities. Offering approximately 75 classes per week and reaching over 8500 community members annually, Keshet programs include: global to local and local to global performances; an on-going dance school; an intensive Pre-Professional Training Program; a variety of community engagement programs bringing dance to low-income, at-risk, homeless and incarcerated youth; and a program for youth and adults with physical disabilities.
Keshet Center for the Arts opened in January 2013 as a performing arts location. It is home to Keshet Dance Company (professional repertory dance troupe); Keshet Dance Education and Community Engagement and Keshet Ideas & Innovation Community (KIIC - New Mexico's only arts-focused business incubator program.)
