Dance Arts Los Alamos

"Where LEAPS are made!"

Dance Arts Los Alamos is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that has been operating in Los Alamos County for over thirty years. DALA is dedicated to promoting dance in Los Alamos, White Rock and Northern New Mexico by providing safe, professional, progressive instruction and high-quality performances. DALA offers classes for ages 18 months through Adult with over 75 hours of instruction per week in Creative Movement, Dance Exploration, Pre-Ballet, Classical Ballet; Pointe, Variations; Pas de Deux, Modern, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Flamenco, Scottish Highland, Hip Hop, Tumbling, and more. 

All DALA instructors come from an incredible background of professional dance and/or dance in higher education. DALA has locations in White Rock and Los Alamos, reaching over 350 students. We are primarily a studio for ages 18-months through 18 years, with family-oriented studio culture and performance opportunities for growing dancers. We offer additional community programming specifically tailored to Adults, Boys, Homeschool students, and Adaptive dancers. We primarily focus on concert dance styles rather than commercial or competitive styles. Our Young Children’s classes balance play with technique and build into our Classical Ballet and Mixed Repertoire Programs with an audition-only Winter Performance and in-class preparation for the Young Children’s Spring Showcase. We strive to prepare our Classical Ballet students for the professional ballet world through pre-professional training programs and opportunities including our Winter Performance, invitation-only ADC-IBC or YAGP opportunity, and full length Spring Ballet. We strive to prepare our Mixed Repertoire students for the collegiate B.F.A dance world, through rigorous training and opportunities including our Winter Performance, optional Contemporary Repertory Cohort opportunity, and Spring Dance Concert.
