Where’s The Imaginative Dance Needed For LA?

With the LA Philharmonic moving out of the The Music Center of Los Angeles, dance fans are hoping to see more dance brought to town. Very little dance has been seen there for years. To that end, the Music Center has taken a baby step, bring three companies to town. “The companies are certainly worthy; for the Music Center, however, this seems a discouragingly safe and unimaginative way to begin. What’s really called for is a wake-up call to the vast, hibernating dance audience. This selection does nothing to define the place that the Music Center wants to stake out for itself as a dance presenter.”
