Academy

At LACI: Academy, we believe that everyone deserves a chance to dance professionally. Our program is designed to dismantle barriers hindering Latino participation in professional dance. Through strategic partnerships with experienced artists, we provide unprecedented access to quality training, mentorship, and performance opportunities. By broadening horizons and showcasing dance as a viable career pathway, we empower aspiring Latino dancers to step into the spotlight.

We celebrate the richness of Latino dance styles and culture at the core of our academy. Our program fosters an environment where participants feel a strong cultural connection to the art form. By integrating cultural elements into the curriculum and partnering with seasoned culture bearers, we create an authentic and empowering experience that resonates with the diverse identities within the Latino community. Dance isn't just an art form; it's a celebration of heritage.

We recognize the financial constraints that often hinder access to dance education. Our initiative includes a robust financial support component, offering scholarships, stipends, and tuition assistance to aspiring Latino dancers. This ensures that financial limitations do not stand in the way of their pursuit of professional dance education. At LACI: Academy, we believe talent should be the primary currency, not financial resources.

We understand the importance of community in shaping the dance landscape. Our program actively engages with local communities, schools, and cultural organizations. This outreach not only raises awareness about our program but also ensures that it meets the specific needs and aspirations of Latino youth interested in pursuing dance as a career. Together, we build bridges that connect the community to the transformative power of dance.
