⭐ Announcing the 2025 Dance Magazine Awards! ⭐

Monday, December 8, at 7 pm PST
Debbie Allen Dance Academy
1850 S Manhattan Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90019

This year’s Dance Magazine Awards will honor:
⭐ Donald Byrd (Spectrum Dance Theater)
⭐ Frances Chung (San Francisco Ballet)
⭐ Mandy Moore
⭐ Kenny Ortega
⭐ Lula Washington (Lula Washington Dance Theatre - Company)
⭐ Brenda Way and Kimi Okada, for their work with ODC

⭐ The Chairman’s Award will go to Debbie Allen (Debbie Allen Dance Academy) for her work as an educator, and the posthumous awards will celebrate four artists who were not recognized by the awards committee during their lifetimes.

🌟 Annie Rigney and Micaela Taylor are the recipients of the two Harkness Promise Awards, which offer a grant and rehearsal space for innovative young choreographers. Presented in collaboration with the Harkness Foundation for Dance, these awards are generously funded by the Foundation.

A tradition dating back to 1954, the Dance Magazine Awards are given in appreciation of the artistry, integrity, and resilience that dance artists have demonstrated over the course of their careers. The 2025 awards have a special West Coast focus. Each of this year’s honorees has been instrumental in shaping this vibrant but often underrecognized part of the American dance landscape. While the ceremony has historically been held in New York City, this year it will take place in Los Angeles, at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.

⭐ Please join us for the 2025 celebration on Monday, December 8, at 7 pm PST, featuring performances and presentations for each awardee. For ticket information, visit https://store.dancemedia.com/product-category/events/

Sunlight bathes the narrow street, illuminating vibrant yellow façades adorned with blue accents. Laundry flutters gently, adding a touch of life, while flowerpots contribute splashes of color. The textured ground leads the eye down the alley, inviting exploration. Shadows play subtly along the walls, enriching the scene with depth. This portrayal of urban charm evokes a sense of nostalgia, perfect for enhancing a personal space with warmth and character.
