We are more determined than ever to get dancers dancing despite current challenges. With a new focus, LA Dance Moves has invited 4 professional dancers to create new works, and also invites original works of a local composer to expose his music to new audiences.

Kenneth Walker Dance Project was founded in 2004 and incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 2005.

Presented through the lens of ballet, Trilogy of Relations is an exposition on three different iterations of love. Freaks With Lines® dancers entice us into three pas de deux playing on themes of elation, manipulation and flirtation.
Filmed in the gritty, concrete-ensconced core of Downtown Los Angeles, Trilogy of Relations exemplifies Freaks With Lines’ unique ability to produce raw and engaging performances anywhere, anytime. In typical Freak fashion we continue creating and consuming our beloved craft while tempting you the voyeur to accept the invitation to experience our work.
Coast City Ballet’s the Nutcracker is a glittering tale that follows Clara, a young girl who receives the gift of a Nutcracker from her Godfather Drosselmeyer at her family Christmas party. That night she dreams of a grand adventure that begins with a handsome prince, continues with an epic battle between mice and toys, she meets the Snow Queen and her flurries and sends her on a magical journey to the Land of Sweets where Clara meets the Sugar Plum Fairy and dancers from foreign lands.
This nutcracker came about because we wanted to do something memorable to engage our children in an uplifting project during these very challenging times.
Each child was individually filmed by their parents using a cell phone. The children never saw each other during this process. They learned the choreography and rehearsed on zoom, and they were filmed alone in front of a green screen with Merle, Cheri and Bridget directing them on zoom
These kids have danced alone in their homes since the studio closed for in person classes in March.
Then came the fun, how to create the effect of everybody being on stage together. After many many weeks of editing we have a Nutcracker.
This was indeed a labor of love.
