Los Angeles, CA 90021
July 27 – August 9, 2026
MovementFest LA is a new dance festival for Los Angeles, connecting the spaces where dance is trained, created, performed, and shared with the public. Participants can engage with the Festival in four ways:
- Open classes and workshops (27 offerings with over 10 internationally renowned teaching artists)
- Two Performance Labs
- Two weekends of performances
- Community and education events uniting artists and audiences
The Performance Lab is a two‑week creation incubator for professional and pre‑professional dancers who want to work inside the choreographic process with leading artists. Two Labs will be offered as part of the Festival: one led by Mike Tyus and Diego Vega Solorza, and one led by Dolly Sfeir. Each Lab culminates in the Weekend Two Showcase, where the newly created works premiere as part of the MovementFest LA performance program.
Performance Lab Choreographers: Mike Tyus, Diego Vega Solorza, and Dolly Sfeir.
Founded by Jessie Lee Thorne, Mike Tyus, and Majella Bess, the festival is presented and produced in partnership with L.A. Dance Project as part of LADP Presents.
