About Us
Lula Washington Dance Theatre (LWDT) is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 company. We have operated in the community since 1980. All during the year 2010, LWDT celebrates its 30th Year Anniversary.
LWDT is an internationally acclaimed touring modern dance company which is known for his powerful and unique performances that blend modern dance with African, ballet, hip hop, jazz, theater, and street movement. The dance company is composed of 8 to 12 professional dancers, many of them trained and honed at the LWDT School. The Company dances works by legends of African-American Dance, including Donald McKayle, Katherine Dunham, Rennie Harris and Donald Byrd -- not to mention Lula Washington herself, and LWDT's Associate Director, Tamcia Washington-Miller.
For three decades, LWDT has groomed dancers for the touring ensemble through its own dance school. This dance school has a reputation for molding great dancers from within the inner city areas of South Los Angeles.
The dance school provides expert training and cultural enrichment in ballet, jazz, tap, african, modern, hip hop dance styles, along with basic gymnastics.
Every year the school hosts a Summer Dance Camp for kids age 7 and up. The School's Summer Intensive Workshop is aimed at youth and young adults who want to improve their dance skills, with a mind towards performing -- possibly with LWDT.
LWDT starts young people dancing early, beginning with its Youth Dance Ensemble, composed of kids ages 5 and up. The group has a Children's component, and even a Tiny Tot Dance component. Our youth dancers perform regularly in various events throughout the LA area.
LWDT's Professional Development Program prepares young dancers 17-25 to become well-rounded professional performers. Past LWDT members have graduated to perform with headline artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna and Cher. Alumni have been featured in productions of The Color Purple, Disney's The Lion King, and performed in commercials, film and television.
