"The smart, strong and energetic Lula Washington Dance Theatre…proved that American dance is alive, well and growing out west. The handsome multi-ethnic company of 10 dancers provided an evening-long explosion of style and attitude." This is an exciting company that inspires optimism about the future of American dance. – Sheila Abrams, New Jersey Recorder.
Founded in 1980 by Lula and Erwin Washington in the inner city area of South Los Angeles, California, LWDT has risen to become one of the most admired African-American contemporary dance companies in the West – known for powerful, high-energy dancing, unique choreography, and exceptional educational residencies.
The Company is composed of young, athletic dancers, many of whom were groomed in Lula Washington’s inner city dance studio. While Lula Washington encourages her dancers to be excellent performers, she also emphasizes the importance of being leaders in their communities.
