LUNA Youth Company is a pre-professional program for dedicated dancers ages 14–18 who are ready to train, rehearse, and perform at an elevated level.

LUNA Choreographic Workshop
Choreographers need space—space to experiment, receive feedback, and grow their creative voice. Yet for many dancers, opportunities to develop as choreographers are rare.
The LUNA Choreographic Workshop is a one-day intensive for pre-professional and professional dancers (ages 18+) ready to explore, shape, and sharpen their choreographic identity.
Through guided improvisation, creative prompts, and phrase-building, you’ll generate original material and receive mentorship throughout the day—culminating in a site-specific piece created in the streets of Downtown Lancaster.
Led by Emmanuel Williams, founder and artistic director of LUNA, who holds a BFA in Dance from George Mason University (’17). His training includes work with Sydney Dance Company, Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers, and rehearsal processes under artists like Robert Battle, Donald Byrd, and Alejandro Cerrudo.
Ideal for dancers with strong movement foundations who are curious about developing original work in a focused, mentored setting.
