Every so often a company bursts onto the dance scene with such original talent and drive that a whole new genre is born. Such it was with the original FLY Dance Company. Within three seasons of touring, FLY went from an unknown, “hard to categorize” dance company with no touring experience to a popular new group wowing audiences around the country—touring an average of 25 weeks and 60 concerts and 100 educational shows annually in venues ranging from Barrow, Alaska to Washington’s Kennedy Center, while producing its own concert season in Houston and making multiple trips to Europe.
That version of FLY was the creation of Kathy Musick Wood, a retired public school dance teacher who, along with her daughter and husband, opened The Duplex Center for the Arts in their Houston home. Soon thereafter, Kathy encountered a crew of street dancers at a Houston street festival and immediately visualized how, with their skills and her choreography, she could create an act to appeal to performing arts audiences. She invited the crew to The Duplex and began working with them and was quickly convinced that it would be possible.
Her plan was to do the unexpected: choosing a wide variety of music including a lot of classical; using ensemble dancing to contrast the dancers’ solos; adding classic choreography techniques, clever staging, acting skills, costuming, and comedy; and mixing it with the hip-hop dancers’ raw movement—powerful, funky, graceful, and sometimes bordering on the impossible. In the process, she created a genre that she dubbed “theatrical hip-hop”. All these elements and styles she melded into what became the unlikely collaboration called FLY Dance Company whose clean-cut, wholesome concerts toured from 2001 until 2006 with performances in venues including Jacob’s Pillow, Vail International Dance Festival, Lincoln Center, Bob Hope Theater, and many European festivals and concerts.
After six years, this chapter in FLY’s story came to an unwelcome end. Physically exhausted from touring six months a year, Kathy was forced to shut down the company thus finishing FLY’s first concert touring career with over 140 straight standing ovations.
In 2012 the “new” FLY Dance Company was organized under the management of original FLY dancers Jorge Casco & Chris Cortez, and new partner Adam Quiroz. They began to work with Kathy on adapting many of the original performance pieces for the new dancers’ high-level breakdancing skills. Garnering the attention of national and international agents, FLY re-launched as a touring dance company. Soon thereafter, Kathy came out of retirement to join them as Artistic Director and the work on new concert choreography began.
Now FLY Dance Company, with new pieces in its repertory, a fresh image as “The Gentlemen of Hip Hop,” and additional dancers (Kenny and Jeffrey Louis, Joel Aguilera, Timothy Pena, Jesse Magana, Mrince Williams and Canarus Leon), is touring again starting a new string of standing ovations with the promise of much more “history” to come.
