The Music Center welcomes thousands of students throughout Los Angeles County every year to experience live professional dance performances. Our Student Dance Matinee Program provides students with models of artistic excellence that inspire them to engage with dance and movement, visual storytelling, diverse perspectives and cultures, self-expression and the creative process.

When we speak of our vision to deepen the cultural lives of all Angelenos, we turn to the work of TMC Arts. This team champions the diverse voices and communities of Los Angeles, fostering connection, creativity and enrichment. TMC Arts programs connect people, offering us the chance to get creative and to learn as we discover something new or enjoy something familiar. Many programs are free and low-cost; they take place outdoors on Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center and in Grand Park, inside The Music Center's theatres and in schools and neighborhoods all across L.A. County.
