Our faculty are multi-hyphenates: artists who choreograph, perform, produce, teach, and build. Many run their own projects or businesses and bring real-world insight from their work across stages, studios, and screens.
We seek faculty who share our values of transparency, mutual respect, and generosity, and who are committed to building a stronger, more sustainable dance community in Los Angeles.
