Dance at the Odyssey 2026


This season we invite you to discover emerging adventurous young choreographers and the return of some of the most singular dance artists in L.A.

Playful and profound, traditional and provocative, Dance at the Odyssey welcomes you to six weeks of exhilarating contemporary dance. Performing in 2 spaces, featuring 17 choreographers, 6 dance companies, this is no single performance. It’s a powerful collective of choreographers, performers and musicians who seek creativity as a source of inspiration and joy.

Thanks to you, what began as a bold and risky experiment in 2017 has evolved into the largest independent contemporary dance festival in all of Los Angeles. Thousands of patrons like you have watched Dance at the Odyssey become a one-of-a-kind event where artists move freely, audiences discover new voices, and boundless creativity prevails.

These are experiences you can’t miss. Be part of the movement.
