BODYTRAFFIC

PLUS: POST-SHOW Q&A WITH THE COMPANY

Forward-thinking Los Angeles dance company BODYTRAFFIC aims to be a home for an eclectic range of styles and perspectives that tell vital stories. Artistic Director Tina Finkelman Berkett has held the company fast to its mission of championing contemporary dance, educating audiences, and inciting positive change. Its goal is simple: get the world moving.

BODYTRAFFIC inspires and uplifts its community and beyond through its education and outreach programs. Focusing on supporting the whole dancer, it provides programs ranging from youth-focused intensive training and master classes to professional development for established artists that encourage their growth by nurturing their unique identities. Every year, it mentors more than 500 students from diverse backgrounds.

Challenge, passion, empathy, inclusion, and growth are at the heart of everything the company does. BODYTRAFFIC seeks to elevate dance beyond an art form to a mode of exploration and celebration of ideas and spirit through movement. Because, after all, without movement, nothing changes.
