The newest work, The Better to Bite You With, was presented in December by the City of Fontana. In November the company performed Dance At the Stone House, a site specific work (see review) and traveled for school performances to San Luis Obispo. In September we performed again at the TriArt Festival in San Pedro, this year doing selections from The Tennis Dances. Louise Reichlin & Dancers also works in partnership with schools in the Los Angeles area providing performances, staff development training for teachers and residency workshops with children. The company, a performing unit of Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, was founded by Louise Reichlin in 1979. She has created more than 80 works, both for the company as well as for plays and operas.

Other works from the repertory include The Patchwork Girl of Oz and The E-Mail Dances (dance/multimedia), Urban and Tribal Dances, and Gimbdu Dance Suite. See company videos for choreography and style. See reviews for critics and press excerpts.
