Helios Dance Theater

Helios Dance Theater was founded in 1996 by Laura Gorenstein Miller, a Los-Angeles based choreographer whose work has premiered at esteemed global venues including the Royal Opera House in London, Lincoln Center in New York, and the Broad Stage and Royce Hall in Los Angeles. The Theater's mission is to serve as a vital hub for dance art in Los Angeles, with both a national and an international presence. Through its focus on the contemporary modern genre and creative improvisation, Helios seeks to unlock and expose audiences to the mysteries of dance and to provide audiences with ample opportunities to experience its beauty. In order to accomplish this, the organization engages in educational outreach beyond its traditional performance repertoire, encouraging local community members to learn and engage with the art form themselves. Further, Helios operates with an understanding of dance as interconnected with countless other art disciplines and routinely collaborates with talented composers, directors, designers, and vocalists to bring its productions to life.
