1. LACHSA Dance

2. “We are never more truly and profoundly human than when we dance”
Overview
Structured on a four-year foundation of ballet and modern dance conservatory-style program, the LACHSA dance program transforms young dancers into powerful and expressive artists with the skills and versatility to perform in any dance genre. They learn to appreciate and care for their bodies though proper conditioning, dance technique, rest and nutrition. As they study and perform the works of master choreographers, they learn about the times and cultures from which those works arose. Taught by a faculty of professional dancers, every dance class gives students the opportunity to develop keen kinesthetic awareness and strong movement communication skills.
“We are never more truly and profoundly human than when we dance”
- José Limón
