S2-108F DANCE (323) 265-8740 The ELAC is concerned with the dance training of anyone with any level of interest, ability, and skill in dance in order to help each student reach a functional performance level in dance. The ambassadors of Dance at ELAC, our Let s Dance Company, has auditions every semester to place all levels of dancers in core technique courses, which significantly develop their skills in just two years. We provide an outstanding comprehensive curriculum for the student who aspires to become a professional dancer, or for the student who wants to complete a general education, or for someone who just wants to dance better throughout life. Our S2 Dance Building houses two of the largest smart classrooms for dance technique classes in Southern California, and we also share a beautiful 350-seat recital hall in our building with Music. This state-of-the-art facility helps our dedicated faculty provide an exceptional, comprehensive curriculum for the dance student with any goals. Many of our Let s Dance Company alumni are teaching dance in community services, recreation, and after school programs everywhere in our service area. Some of our dancers are dancing in Community Theater, on Cruise Lines, and even on Broadway! The ELAC has performance opportunities each semester in the Recital Hall, in the community, and the Let s Dance Company has even performed in European performance tours. The East Los Angeles College Let s Dance Company (LDC) consists of passionate, committed, and talented young women and men. LDC represents a diverse group of prestigious dancers with multi-cultural backgrounds who obtain a common goal to grow and prosper by taking an enthusiastic approach to learning, bonding, and gathering memorable experiences. Through this process of unification, they develop a strong foundation of camaraderie and demonstrate persistent dedication. Years of refined disciplinary skills contribute towards their accomplishments in rehearsals, performances, community events, tours, academic goals, and future endeavors. The LDC members are well aware that they are constantly in the public eye throughout the community and always do their best to represent East Los Angeles College with the utmost respect, traditions, and pride. For more information about Dance at ELAC and the LDC, performance information, audition schedules, and ticketing, please call the Director/Chair, Kimberly Rabins, at 323-265-8740.
