L.A. Dance presents “Colors in Motion”. Colors bring life, joy, and meaning to the world around us—they brighten our days, reflect our emotions, and give us a beautiful way to express who we are. This year, we were inspired by the magic of colors and how each shade tells its own unique story, just like each of our dancers. Through every step, twirl, and smile, our students have brought these colors to life in class and on stage. It has truly been a wonderful and fun year filled with growth, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Thank you to all of our amazing dancers and families for making this year so special. We are so grateful to share this colorful journey with you!

Powerful writing has the ability to shape perspectives and drive change. In this dynamic six-week workshop, you will engage in both group and one-on-one sessions in order to immerse yourself in the art of persuasive op-ed and opinion writing. You’ll have an opportunity to learn from nationally recognized experts in writing and editing, including being able to ask questions about your work. Fifteen participants will work directly with Trent Spiner, an editor-in-chief and former national political reporter, in one-on-one sessions designed to help you craft and publish an op-ed on a topic of your choice. This class will be a journey to craft impactful narratives that inspire meaningful action in your community. All classes will be conducted via Zoom. A majority of previous participants of this workshop were successfully published in local and statewide news outlets.
What You'll Gain:
- Develop, write, and pitch at least one compelling op-ed.
- Group classes focused on brainstorming, drafting, and pitching op-eds.
- Facilitated conversations and Q&A sessions with op-ed experts.
