BT has helped set the stage for professional concert dance on the West Coast, building an audience for dance and assisting others in this art form to thrive. The company has nurtured the creation of new artworks and hired artists and arts administrators, bolstering the creative economy of L.A. Additionally, BT has poured into its local dance spaces providing them with financial support and engagement.

This year, with the launch of BT’s first-ever home season, Perpetual Pursuits, the company is bringing a renewed focus to its vibrant hometown. With the goals of rebuilding audiences for live performing arts, inspiring communities with relatable programming, and designing meaningful educational events that uplift the next generation of artists and audiences, BT is celebrating the art of forward movement and the audacity of perseverance.

Additionally, BT has rich education and outreach programming for Angelenos of all ages. Through partnerships with Los Angeles-based organizations and schools, the company offers access to professional arts education with masterclasses, movement workshops, educational performances, in-studio open rehearsals, and residencies. BT is not only training young dancers through its collaborations with places like Everybody Dance LA! and LACHSA, but also encouraging lifelong learners and movers through Grow@The Wallis and Pasadena Senior Center, philanthropic interests in young dancers with Marlborough School, the freedom of movement and expression at Dahlia Heights and Gabriella Charter Schools, and alternative futures and opportunities with A Place Called Home.
