About FLY KiDS
FLY KiDS is a program for trained and untrained young dancers who love to perform. This dance company is the showcase performing group representing FLYworks as it carries out its mission promoting dance as an artistic, fitness and character-building activity for youth. FLY KiDS members have opportunities for high-quality training, performing in exciting venues, and appearing in instructional dance videos.
FLY KiDS members are 3rd through the 7th grade boy and girl dancers who are talented, open-minded, hard working kids who want to take their performing skills and experiences to a higher level. Houston area students are chosen through an audition process that not only values talent but positive attitudes and good citizenship.
FLY KiDS was organized and is run by artistic director Kathy Wood (who created the professional touring FLY Dance Company) and FLY KiDS director Rhonda Valencia (who created the Morris Fifth Grade Dance Team for Pasadena ISD), both dynamic individuals who love teaching dance and producing groups that are fun and entertaining.
FLY KiDS is a fusion of these two extraordinarily successful dance companies demonstrating the positive, active, inclusive, fun style of dance FLYworks advocates for youth.

Our goal is simply for FLY KiDS to be one of the most entertaining dance companies in Houston and show by example how youth dance programs like FLY KiDS can be fun, positive, artistic, healthful, creative team activities for youth. The FLY KiDS dance company plays an essential role in FLYworks' mission to encourage schools and other community organizations to create similar programs with the help of its FLY KiDS educational outreach offerings.
