I have always been a history enthusiast. The more I learn, the more I recognize how much more there is to uncover and explore. In early 2020, I worked on the early seeds of a History of Dance in LA exhibition, which was never fully realized (and I'm sure you can guess why!), but the project's research sparked a deep curiosity in me, and I have become committed to uncovering the narratives of those who have moved and grooved on this land we now know as: Los Angeles.   

One day I might become a LA Dance scholar, but for now, here's a collection of dance history links rooted in Los Angeles. Use them as an entry point. Whether through style, choreographer lineage, venue, neighborhood, or screen. Each link opens up a world of artists who shaped the dance ecosystem we move through today. 

The following is NOT even close to all inclusive. Recognizing that there’s always more, please email me to connect and/or share your findings and stories.
