The arts are not just an “embellishment” to living. The arts are the essential tools anchoring us to the vitality of our human spirit! Since 1978, Los Angeles Dance Theatre, the nonprofit corporation of American Repertory Dance Company, has embraced excellence of artistry, honored the dance legacies by safeguarding artistic landmarks, and sought creative pathways into personal stories, societal issues, and physical expression of things that cannot find meaning through words.

In May 2004, ARDC presented its final performance. Although, the performance ensemble has disbanded, LADT/ARDC’s organizational resources and services continue to be available to the field. Please refer to “Repertory” and the video catalog attachment for listing of works restored.

We at LADT/ARDC are immensely gratified with the scope of our reconstruction projects and unparalleled opportunities of working alongside such an impressive roster of performing, choreographic, and administrative talent. It was an honor being presented by venues including Kennedy Center, American Dance Festival, DanceAspen, New Orleans Ballet Association, UCLA Center for the Arts, Orange County Performing Arts Center Educational Department, and World Dance Alliance Festival. Thank you all for an abundance of memories and the chance to connect with such diverse audiences. Our goal of the total dance experience in touring, guest residencies, and arts education/outreach programs could not have been any better!
