“What we do as artists is represent what is possible with our bodies, our imaginations and our imperfections.”

Movement is for all.

Luke Dakota Zender has been a professional dancer for over 14 years. They have been dancing and choreographing in Los Angeles, New York and a few places in-between for the last ten years both in the commercial and concert worlds. In that time they have come to prioritize equity and inclusion above all. They believe that dance, particularly dance education has the power to transcend and teach life skills valuable to anyone at any and every part of life. As story teller and choreographer they have been endlessly inspired by wilderness, the forms it takes, the symbiotic relationships and cycles that support any and all life. Amidst all of the noise in today’s modern times, balance still exists in the natural world and they desire to share this universal truth through physical theatre and storytelling. Luke Dakota Zender thrives in a collaborative environment.
