Laguna Dance Festival
PROGRAMS
Educational Components
Laguna Dance offers master classes and a week long intensive for young artists. We also include educational lectures during our festival, Meet the Artist events, dance films and demonstrations. A very popular educational program is the creating a dance, live rehearsal. A choreographer leads dancers through a live rehearsal allowing the audience to learn about technique and the subtler aspects of dance development.
Laguna Dance Master classes and intensives offer a unique opportunity for aspiring dancers to train with 'famous' dancers and choreographers and learn repertory they otherwise would not. Classes usually sell out. We offer scholarships to students who are financially challenged and offer opportunities to underserved communities.
A new program was developed allowing the audience to participate in the creation of a dance. The audience loved it.
Annual Festival
Since 2005, Laguna Dance has presented more than amzaing 60 companies and countless stars of dance including Misty Copeland who did a book signing for our young ballerinas.
The last few years Laguna Dance has collaborated with the OC Philharmonic, offering live music for some of the dances and in return, Laguna Dance provides several specifically choreographed pieces for their music festival. Wrapped around the main event are lectures and demonstrations, and master classes.
Tickets sales are strong and at least one performance sells out speaking volumes to the quality of artists presented.
