"To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking." -Agnes De Mille Structured on a four-year foundation of ballet and modern dance classes, the LAHCHSA dance program transforms young dancers into powerful and expressive artists with the skills and versatility to perform in any dance genre. They learn to appreciate and care for their bodies though proper conditioning, dance technique, rest and nutrition. As they study and perform the works of master choreographers, they learn about the times and cultures from which those works arose.
