Lula Washington Dance Theatre

This breathtaking, world renowned contemporary dance troupe took its first steps in the inner city section of South L.A., as a creative outlet for minority dance artists. Today it stands at the top of critics' lists as one of the most admired African-American dance troupes in the country. Powerful, high energy dancing and unique choreography set to music from every era and style abound defined and danced with bold athleticism. Lula has also choreographed the dancing fish in Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid movie. From Vivaldi and Chopin to Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and the Beatles, from frolic to fury, Lula's repertory is straight shooting and stripped of pretense, unveiling honesty, integrity and creativity of
unparalleled power. Experience it for yourself.

The presentation of The Lula Washington Dance Company was made possible by the MetLife Community Connections Fund of the National Dance Project, a program administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts. Major support for the National Dance Project is also provided by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation with additional support from the Ford Foundation and the Andrew W Mellon Foundation.
