Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I join KoKo Pops?

We usually hold auditions in the fall. If you have any questions about auditions or KoKo Pops, feel free to read the FAQs below, explore the website, or contact us!

See more and learn how you can meet us on the Updates page.

Do I need dance experience?

No!! Most of our members have never danced before joining KKP.

Do I have to like K-Pop if I want to join KoKo Pops?

No! Although we primarily dance to K-pop, you do not have to like the music in order to join our company :)

What is the auditions process like?

During auditions, we will teach 20-40 seconds of choreo from K-pop songs. As the process varies a little every year, you can expect more details about auditions in the beginning of the fall semester.

How much of a time commitment is KKP?

Like many things, it depends on how much you put into it. Rehearsal time can range anywhere from 3 to 12 hours a week depending on how many pieces you are in—our members are generally in 2-5. We put on one show every spring!

Do you only do K-pop covers? What about other styles?

For now, we only focus on K-pop choreography and do not choreograph ourselves because we are primarily a cover dance company. However, K-pop choreography generally incorporates elements from various styles of dance, including hip hop and contemporary dance.

Why KoKo Pops? What is KKP like?

We are a group of people who greatly enjoy each other’s company and we are a tight-knit community of dancers growing with each other and learning from each other <3

In addition to piece rehearsals and weekly company rehearsals, We hold lots of fun social events throughout the year, including ramen nights, karaoke, and game nights! Our members major in a variety of areas, from computer science to near Eastern studies to psychology.
