BlakTinx in Leimert Park is our 9th year of presenting this important dance festival featuring Black and Latinx choreographers in LA. We are excited to be presenting two free live outdoor performances in Leimert Park Plaza on April 9th at 1pm & 5pm. We will present 20 different choreographers and some special featured guests, outside in the historic, cultural hub of Leimert Park Plaza in two different programs. Our very special guests include the Lula Washington Dance Theater/Youth Company and DaanseKou West African Drummers and Dancers! Ten different choreographers will grace our outdoor stage in each program with one featured guest company in each. There’s an added bonus of art installation piece “All Power to the People” by artist Hank Willis Thomas in the park. So bring your blankets, foldable chairs, hats and enjoy this celebration of spring, new beginnings and some incredible dance in the cultural hub of Leimert Park Plaza. Make an afternoon of it and explore the restaurants, shops and galleries in this historic area!
