LA Dances™ made its debut to the dance community with a presentation of work by our founder Rebecca Yewell-Witjas, at CID’s 19th World Congress on Dance Research in Larnaca, Cyprus, in November 2005. The World Congress is the largest gathering of dance specialists world-wide and participation is by invitation only.

Our first project is called “White Light”, performed to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. This piece is centered on the happiest of human emotions – JOY. The choreography expresses the joy of dancing, of music and ultimately of life itself. We offer this to both the local and global community at a time when hopefulness and joy about living comes at a premium. The U.S. premiere was held at the Smothers Brothers Theater at Pepperdine University in late May 2005.


We will continue to build our repertoire with works that:

• study other emotions and aspects of human nature
• are created by other members of the company
• are created from the belief that ballet forms a universal technique which allows the integration of other dance forms
