Career Catapult Initiatives in Dance

The LMU Dance Career Catapult Programs have been developed to provide professional bridges and stepping stones in the ever-advancing field of dance performance. These programs invite students to experience professional-like settings in company work and concert performance, dance teaching and community engagement, and the fast-paced commercial dance industry. As students proceed over the four years, they go from experiencing these career pathways to gaining the real-world skill sets, networks, and assets to navigate their chosen job markets upon graduation. Grounded in the LMU commitment to social justice, these groundbreaking programs do more than prepare students for the future; they shape the next generation of dance changemakers.
