Who we are

A space for artists.

We are a dance platform building community by sharing resources and supporting the freelance artists who live in LA and pass through. This model is built by artists to support artists.

Working artists teach when they want, with no commitment. Dancers train at a low price and pay their teacher directly. By doing it ourselves, the money stays with the artists.

TheSpace_LA started seven years ago out of the need for a new model: class that working dancers can afford, on a schedule that fits around a working artist's life.

MVMNT FEST LA

MovementFest is a new dance festival for Los Angeles, connecting the spaces where dance is trained, created, performed, and shared with the public. Artists can participate in the festival through two primary study tracks: Studio or Lab. In addition to these study tracks, MovementFest LA presents public performances and cultural events that bring the wider community into the festival.

Studio → Lab → Stage → Community

MovementFest LA exists to strengthen the dance community of Los Angeles while creating space for new voices, new work, and new creative relationships. Co-produced by Mike Tyus, Jessie Lee Thorne, and Majella Bess and hosted at L.A. Dance Project.
