MamLuft&Co. Dance’s dance classes for adults, teens, and kids are about more than learning movement and healthy, active practices: they’re also about problem solving, etiquette, physical awareness, and confidence. We promote gender-inclusive and age-appropriate dance. We focus on growing character without participating in costly dance competitions. We are community-based.
The company approaches movement as a process of investigation, rather than thinking of dance as a vocabulary of actions. While MamLuft&Co. Dance works to make Modern Dance accessible to the general population, ML&Co. also challenges pre-conceived notions of what dance is by searching for authentic, organic, and original movement. MamLuft&Co. Dance’s explorations are led by director Jeanne Sopanha Mam-Luft, whose personal history informs the company processes, as an immigrant and refugee of the Khmer Rouge genocide, as well as an interdisciplinarian of design, architecture, photography, and video.

The Council also seeks out those other champions, inside and outside the halls of government, in order to give voice to all concerned and to better achieve the Council's mandate and mission. Lastly, the Council serves to advise the Governor concerning the various ways that the arts and support for the arts can integrate with gubernatorial policies and goals, especially in connection with economic development, place-making and education initiatives.
