The LMproject dance company was developed in the summer of 2005 by a group of dancers in New York City who were looking to spread their knowledge of dance and movement to children who were eager to learn how to move. The company’s first performance was at The International Children’s Festival at Wolf Trap Performing Arts Pavilion in Virginia. Artistic Director of the company, Alisa Claire, was first part of this festival as a child. She remembered how inspiring it was then. “I’ve cherished these memories for years. Its time to pass on some of the knowledge and confidence I’ve gained from that experience.” LMproject will now be performing its sixth year with the festival. Since working with The Fairfax Arts Council and The International Children’s Festival, LM has broadened their educational programming to schools, festivals, and other organizations. Recently the company joined the Creative Arts Program, hoping to inspire and spread their love of dance and passion of performing. LM highly believes that a strong passion for the performing arts can be appreciated through performance but achieved through participation. They aim to showcase different styles of dance and music while displaying the variety of ways in which these expressions can interact. LMproject was designed to create an outlet for creativity and inspiration through movement, instill a sense of confidence and spread a love for dance and passion of performing through our hands on learning experience.
