Our Mission: “To support and promote the development of dance creation, presentation and education and to increase public appreciation of the art form in Orange County and beyond.”
Laguna Dance Festival brings numerous free opportunities to the community by bringing high quality dance to the heart of Orange County. Along with our free site-specific, gallery and outdoor performances we offer interactive dance classes to the public. Dance students, pre-professionals and professionals can participate in our Master Class Series offered through out the year, and along with attending theatre performances the audience can join in pre-performance talks given by performers, choreographers and directors prior to the show. The Laguna Dance Festival is also proud to collaborate with the University of California, Irvine, by bringing company residencies, classes and showings to the UCI campus. Our highly regarded educational component serves as a performing art pipeline to thousands of elementary, high school and university students in Orange and LA county, as well as carefully chosen outreach programs designed for the under-served.
