About KOD (Keep On Dancing)
In 2004, KOD, also known as, “Keep on Dancing”, began in Beijing with an idea of introducing Hip-hop culture to Chinese culture. Before KOD, the thought of Hip-hop and Streetdance in China was unacceptable with little known information about it. The vision our company was built from had created a movement that quickly spread. This was something that has never been done before, dance competitions that played Hip-hop music, embraced the clothing, and style of dance. We are the innovators of Hip-hop in China.
KOD founder, Bo Gao, has held our Streetdance competitions in Beijing, China and Seoul, Korea. In 2014, we celebrated our 10-year milestone in business and celebrated with “KOD 10”, Streetdance competition and the opening of “5+5”, a Hip-hop dance studio that is known for a faculty of the most recognized and highly skilled dancers and choreographers in Beijing, China.
KOD is has turned its attention to the rest of the world with its inaugural International Street Dance Competition, “KOD World Cup.” They have selected 8 countries to take part of this new movement for dance. Auditions were held in each country with a total of 15 dancers selected for each National team. The finals will be held in Los Angeles, California around March/April 2016.
