A quartet of L.A.’s finest share the stage in East L.A., a week of dance on the Santa Monica beach, a revered local legend in Hollywood, contemporary dance downtown, and more SoCal dance this busy week.

South Asian dance in Santa Monica, a flamenco riff on Miles Davis in Hollywood, bits of George Balanchine ballets two ways downtown, dance “traffic” in Beverly Hills, a 30th anniversary in Long Beach, dancers commuting on light rail in Santa Monica, and more SoCal dance this week.

Contemporary dance in new digs downtown, gypsy flamenco in Silverlake, ballet from top notch training companies in Santa Monica and Irvine, a 10th anniversary confluence of choreographers in Beverly Hills, and more SoCal dance this week.

A U.S./Cuba artists collaboration ends in Northeast L.A., site specific dance set against a Glendale hillside, two classical ballets from Ukraine’s national company in an historic downtown movie palace, an L.A. troupe opens in its new Arts District home, and more SoCal dance this week.

A Sinatra homage in Glendale, fish-centric dance in San Pedro, an alt-Mom’s Day in Topanga Canyon, and saying adieu in Pasadena.
