LACDC (Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company) By: Melannie May

About LACDC started off as a business plan in an arts management class at the University of Southern California. Michelle Mierz (Executive Director), Kate Hutter (Artistic Director), and an entrepreneurial business major in the Marshall School of Business began a non-profit dance company. The three entrepreneurs, while still pursuing their dreams were laying the foundations of LACDC to take root in 2006.

The Company The L.A. Contemporary Dance Company (LACDC) is a repertory dance company based in downtown Los Angeles. Performs a diverse repertoire of modern, ballet and jazz influenced by L.A.’s vibrant culture. The Reveal, the company’s debut concert at Highways Performance Space in July 2005, took them to the next level of making their business plan a reality. .
