WEBMASTER Mark Brueggemann, 360 Creative Web THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS City of Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts Laguna Beach Visitors & Conference Bureau ABOUT LAGUNA DANCE FESTIVAL o, is this your first Laguna Dance Festival? Welcome and let me tell you who we are and where we came from. SArtistic Director Jodie Gates is a former principal dancer with The Joffrey Ballet, Frankfurt Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet and Complexions Contemporary Ballet. When she retired, this California native chose to settle in Laguna Beach. Always active, she decided to start a dance festival, bringing to her new hometown, members of major international dance companies to perform in an intimate setting. This was in 2006. Since establishing Laguna Dance Festival, Jodie has presented members of American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Parsons Dance, CorbinDances, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Trey McIntyre Project, Ballet West, Royal Ballet of Flanders, Oregon Ballet Theatre, Backhausdance, UCI Etude Ensemble, The Groovaloos, San Francisco Ballet, Les Ballet Grandiva, BalletX, Sacramento Ballet, Breed, Los Angeles Ballet, ABT II and Hubbard Street 2 . There have been Master Classes for area dance students each year, as well as classes for small children. We have become regulars at First Thursdays ART WALK, too. Through an annual festival, both in a theatre and on Main Beach, Laguna Dance Festival has reached thousands, and exposed a new audience to world class professional dance in a beautiful setting. There are even more exciting plans for future years. We look forward to continuing here at Laguna Moulton Theater, our new venue, and presenting new companies for our audiences. Stay tuned. The staff of LDF is made up of an Operations Manager and Jodie, who volunteers all of her time to make the festival a success each year. There is a fully volunteer Board of Directors, handling most of the administrative and fund raising business, and a growing group of dedicated volunteers who man the actual festivals. Maybe you would like to join us? We’d be most happy to tell you how you can help make this happen. CaDance, aka Laguna Dance Festival, is a California-based non- profit 501 (c) (3) organization. All contributions are fully tax- deductible and most appreciated. Enjoy the Festival and we hope you will attend each year.
