Show Information

Lula Washington Dance Theatre was founded in 1980 in Los Angeles, California, by Lula Washington and Erwin Washington. The company was established to provide a creative outlet for African American dancers and choreographers in the inner city of Los Angeles. Lula Washington serves as the company's principal choreographer and artistic director, while Tamica Washington-Miller, her daughter, is associate director and a choreographer with the company.

The company is an active touring and resident contemporary modern dance company based in Los Angeles. Performances are typically built from a repertory of choreographed works, many by Lula Washington and Tamica Washington-Miller, and program length generally runs about 90 minutes to 2 hours, varying by program. A typical performance includes one intermission, though the exact structure can vary by engagement.

Lula Washington Dance Theatre is among the prominent long-standing African American modern dance companies based in Los Angeles and one of the few long-running African American modern dance companies in the western United States. The company has toured nationally and internationally, performing across the United States and in countries across Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa. Its reach also extends into training and community work through the Lula Washington Dance Theatre school and youth programs in the Crenshaw/Leimert Park area.

The company's artistry has also reached wider audiences through film work, including Lula Washington's choreographic and movement contributions to James Cameron's "Avatar."

Across a single program, audiences may encounter movement rooted in African American cultural expression, spirituals, gospel, jazz, and contemporary scores, with choreography that carries emotional weight as well as physical force.

Show Highlights

Lula Washington Dance Theatre performances vary by program, but the company's repertory is known for several signature kinds of work:

  • Repertory Works by Lula Washington — Founder Lula Washington's choreography draws on African American history, social themes, and the company's highly physical modern dance style. These works often combine muscular movement, emotional clarity, and a strong sense of cultural purpose.
  • Works Addressing Social Justice — The company is noted for dances that confront civil rights, equality, and the Black experience. These pieces give performances an emotional and political charge, using movement to express urgency, struggle, dignity, and resilience.
  • Ensemble Power Pieces — Full-company works showcase the troupe's explosive energy, precision, and grounded movement vocabulary. These sections are often where the company's athletic style is most immediately felt, with dancers moving as a collective force.
  • Spiritual and Gospel-Inspired Works — Pieces set to spirituals and gospel music celebrate faith, community heritage, and perseverance. The music and choreography work together to create moments that feel both intimate and communal.
  • Choreography by Tamica Washington-Miller — Works by associate director Tamica Washington-Miller extend the company's repertory with contemporary voices rooted in its founding mission. Her choreography adds another generational layer to the company's ongoing artistic identity.

Lula Washington Dance Theatre Seating Guide

Lula Washington Dance Theatre performs in Los Angeles-area venues and touring theater settings, so seating layouts may vary from city to city. Where you sit can shape how you experience the company's athletic ensemble work, intimate solos and duets, and full-stage choreographic patterns.

Best Seats for Lula Washington Dance Theatre

For a dance performance, the best seats usually balance proximity with a full view of the stage picture:

  • Best value: Upper mezzanine or rear orchestra sections — these seats often provide clear views of formations, spacing, and ensemble movement at a more accessible price point.
  • Closest to the stage: Front orchestra sections — these place you near the dancers, making facial expression, footwork, and physical detail easier to see.
  • Best overall experience: Mid-orchestra or front mezzanine sections — these areas usually offer a strong balance of distance, angle, and full-stage visibility, which is especially useful for modern dance.
  • For families with young children: Aisle-access seats can make arrivals, exits, and intermission movement easier. Performances generally run about 90 minutes to 2 hours and typically include an intermission, which can help younger attendees reset during the program.
  • For groups: Coordinate contiguous seats early, since blocks in popular orchestra and mezzanine sections can sell through quickly.

The map lets you compare sections, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your angle to the stage, your distance from the front, and whether you're in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony — so the seats you choose match exactly what you're looking for before the curtain rises.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

  • Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the venue can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
  • Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Venue doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
  • Plan for the intermission. Lula Washington Dance Theatre performances typically include one intermission. Lines for concessions and restrooms can build immediately after the act break, so heading out promptly can help you make the most of the pause.
  • Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Photography and recording are generally not permitted during performances. Silence your phone before the show begins so the focus stays on the dancers and the stage.
  • For families. The company is generally appropriate for most audiences, though individual programs may explore mature social and political themes. If you're bringing younger attendees, the program's intensity, length, and subject matter are worth keeping in mind.
