AUDITIONS

At Laguna Dance, we honor the full spectrum of our dance community – visionary creative leaders, working professionals, artists at the beginning of their journeys, and dedicated pre-professional students.

Our inaugural Summer Stage Festival is open to dancers ages 14+ who are eager to train, create, and perform in a supportive, intergenerational environment in beautiful Laguna Beach. We are committed to equity and access, and we welcome dancers of all identities and backgrounds. Laguna Dance does not discriminate based on sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, national origin, religion, or socioeconomic circumstances.
