Programs

Aligned with our mission, CAGE is dedicated to providing quality programs throughout the Philadelphia Region and beyond. 
We offer: public and private performances, teaching artist workshops and residencies, dance troupe professional development, and more. Programs are provided in-person and online, following COVID-19 health and safety measures.

Khmer Language & Arts (KLA) Program

---

A collaborative program presented by CAGE and the Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia.  Khmer Language & Arts Program (KLA) provides weekly classes (October-May) to introduce, teach, and enrich Philadelphia's community through Khmer arts and culture.  KLA offers: Beginner's Cambodian Classical Dance Class, Intermediate Cambodian Classical Dance Class, Advanced Cambodian Classical Dance Class, Language and Cultural Immersion, and more.

Every year, KLA hosts a culminating Annual Cambodian Dance Recital to celebrate the accomplishments and progress of the program.  Photos from our first and second Annual Cambodian Dance Recital below:

Professional Dance Troupe

---

CAGE provides the opportunity for Cambodian dance artists to develop professional skills and artist portfolios.  This program also trains Cambodian dance artists to become high-quality teaching artists.  Professional troupe members audition into the program and upon acceptance gain access to performance, professional development, and artistic enhancement opportunities. 

CAGE offers private and public performances. For public performances (ex: block parties, non-ticketed events), CAGE offers performance rates on a sliding scale model to ensure we are able to provide equitable performance services. Private events (ex: weddings, birthday parties, or ticketed events) performance rates are non-negotiable and may include a travel fee if the event is more than 10 miles away from our studio location. You can request a CAGE Professional Dance Troupe performance by emailing us at [email protected]

Community Workshops

---

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, CAGE is unable to provide free and low-cost community workshops. We are currently working on bringing these opportunities back.
Community Workshops are opportunities for community members to gently ease their way into art-making. Whether you are an artist, aspiring artist, or just curious, these workshops offer the chance to explore different mediums and learn about Cambodian and Cambodian American cultures. Workshops include dance, food, books, painting, and more.
