The company successfully weathered the pandemic by launching a Crisis Relief Campaign, 1500 Angels. The 214k dollars they raised helped them survive; now begins their season to thrive with reimagined repertoires. Westsides New Horizons'' presentation will delight Los Angeles audiences with wonderfully varied worksfrom the most classic choreographers and composers to an original contemporary piece with a commissioned score.Due to popular demand, Westside Alumnus Adrian Blake Mitchell and his partner, Slovakian Andrea Lakov, are now performing on Sunday.
