Here is a list of dance performances announced by the larger venues in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas.
Performances by LA based dance artists at smaller venues will appear in the soon to be launched LA Dance Chronicle Performance Calendar.
Once the calendar is up and running, LA based dance companies and independent dance artists are encouraged to submit their performance dates, times and venues, any questions or feedback as soon as possible to info@ladancechronicle.com attention Martin Holman. This will aid us in making improvements to better serve our readers.
The LA Dance Chronicle Performance Calendar was made possible with a generous donation by choreographer, dancer, actress and entrepreneur Anita Mann.
