CHECK OUT SCHEDULE


We — the Jumpstart Producing Team — believe that artists are inherently entrepreneurs, and that our creative voices and business brains need to be nourished equally (and frequently!). With over 45 years of combined work experience in LA’s creative economy, we crafted this program to uplift the newest members of the field with clarity, resources, and inspiration.

Each day will open with two seminars, followed by two to three movement classes (including contemporary, modern, ballet, floorwork, and more…). This jam-packed, four-day program will explore:

Los Angeles’ vast, multifaceted dance world, history, and current landscape including key institutions, organizations, and resource hubs

Where to look for (PAID) performing, choreographic, and teaching opportunities

Resume, website, and headshot guidance (including personalized, 1 on 1 feedback and action items!)

How to secure a commercial dance agent

Ways to work in both the concert and commercial dance worlds and how to balance the two


… and we’ll have a ton of FUN.
