LA Dance Chronicle is an online publication dedicated to comprehensive coverage of dance in the Los Angeles and Southern California region. Launched in 2017, it publishes reviews, articles, interviews, a performance calendar, and a newsletter for the dance community across Los Angeles and beyond. It operates in a media landscape where mainstream outlets have significantly reduced their dance coverage, positioning itself as a rare publication solely focused on the art of dance.
LA Dance Chronicle was founded in 2017 to fill a gap in Southern California's arts journalism landscape. As major newspapers and media outlets steadily reduced or eliminated dedicated dance coverage, the publication emerged to serve the local dance community — dancers, choreographers, companies, and audiences — with critical and supportive coverage. Since its launch it has published over 2,100 reviews and articles, with notable growth in its coverage of both Los Angeles-based companies and national and international touring productions performing in Southern California.
The publication covers all dance forms and genres performed in the Los Angeles area, including ballet, contemporary dance, modern, tap, flamenco, hip-hop, and experimental forms. Its team of experienced dance writers, many with backgrounds as dance journalists for major national and regional publications, provides critical reviews, in-depth interviews, features on choreographers and dancers, and preview coverage of upcoming productions. The publication has covered performances at major venues including the Hollywood Bowl, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and smaller independent theatres throughout Southern California. It also maintains a performance calendar and distributes a newsletter to share promotional news from dance artists throughout California and beyond.
LA Dance Chronicle is freely accessible at ladancechronicle.com. The performance calendar provides a centralised resource for upcoming dance events in the greater Los Angeles area. Artists seeking reviews for promotional materials, grant proposals, and fundraising can contact the publication for coverage consideration.
