WELCOME TO CCD

Welcome to the beautiful new webpage for the Classical and Contemporary Dance Conservatory at OCSA. My hope is for this site to be a hub featuring the stunning beauty of CCD’s featured art forms while highlighting the successes of our students, alumni, and faculty. In addition, information on the outstanding caliber of faculty, guest master teachers and choreographers, and the varied experiences and opportunities our students enjoy, will be available to peruse at your leisure.

Enjoy!

Steven B. Hyde

Artists in Residence - James Gregg & Rauf Yosit - Level 3

Wewolf is a Los Angeles based multi-disciplinary dance  collective that is focused on creating and working on different projects that bring their methods of dance and visual arts together. Even though RubberLegz and James are from different backgrounds, they have the same views on the way they see dance and how they want to translate their two voices into one cohesive choreographic method.

The mix of Rubberlegz’s self made abstract break technique with James’s background in contemporary, ballet, and urban dance has created a new visually dynamic style of movement. This language has made a splash in not only the dance community, but with creators in many different genres of the arts.

Wewolf is interested in pushing boundaries in their work yet at the same time inspiring people world wide with their creativity. They are a fusion of urban and contemporary dance like you have never seen before.
