LIBERATE ARTISTS DANCE CAPTAIN
PROGRAMS

Join the Liberate team on the road, be inspired and learn what it takes to work in the dance industry. The program and season begins at the conclusion of Phoenix Fire 2022.

The new ‘22-‘23 class of LADC’s will be announced at the closing performance of Phoenix Fire 2022, Saturday July 30th. You do not need to attend Phoenix Fire 2022 to be accepted into the program.

The LADC Program

Our Liberate Artists Dance Captain Training Program is a small group extension of our mission to build confidence and promote social growth in dancers. For 10 months, dancers and their families participate in seminars and training to develop the tools for wherever dance may take them. From dance medicine and science to guest artist classes, this program is for the dancer wanting to develop their artistry, and for the families that support them.

Please note, this program does not replace your weekly training at your home studio — we are a studio-first organization. Prospective LADC trainees must get approval from their studio owner or studio director to audition for this program. Independent dancers may apply if they are receiving weekly training in their home city.

This is an audition-based program open to dancers 12-18. We accept a maximum of 20 dancers each season. Liberate Artists Dance Captains assist our Liberate faculty and staff on the road and perform as Liberate Artists Ambassadors for various experiences throughout their year.
