About this user

The Lula Washington Dance Theatre (LWDT) is a 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit Arts organization that was founded in 1980 by Lula and Erwin Washington to provide a creative outlet for dance artists in Los Angeles. The foundation is made up of inter-related parts: the School, Youth Dance Ensemble and the professional dance company (Lula Washington Dance Theatre).

The mission of the LWDT Dance Company is to operate a professional, internationally respected modern dance company committed to the highest artistic integrity and creative innovations interpreted through dance, and to reflect the African-American experience.

Through public performances and community outreach, we seek to build bridges between people of different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Through our school and educational programs, we aim to inspire and educate children throughout Los Angeles and across the United States. Our goal is to keep young people off the streets by giving them creative alternatives to drugs, gangs, violence and failure.

The primary goal of the LWDT School is to provide the excellent training needed to develop well rounded dancers with expertise in modern, jazz, ballet, African dance, tap and other dance styles.

We want to give talented young dancers the skills they will need to perform with our dance company, or, pursue professional dance careers elsewhere.

For students who do not want to become professional dancers, we enable them to enjoy the enrichment, character development and positive benefits that come from an involvement with dance. We also teach them to have an appreciation and love for dance. We want our students to be well rounded, culturally aware and internally enriched individuals who will remain lovers of the arts for the rest of their lives.

We encourage and prepare our students to teach, to lead, to choreograph and to be good people.

We also use dance as a tool to help young people develop the internal confidence they need to be successful in life. These include developing a strong work ethic, self-determination, self-esteem, and a positive attitude about life and respect for others. We have seen many of our students go on to be very successful in life and in school as a result of the character building essentials they received in dance classes at LWDT.
