Luminario Ballet of Los Angeles performs contemporary and classical ballet en pointe, modern dance and aerial ballet a la Cirque du Soleil. Representing the vibrant, diverse population of SoCal, Luminario Ballet performs full-length repertory as well as guest spots and commissioned choreography.

Choreographers in repertory include Michael Smuin (San Francisco Ballet; Smuin Ballet), Bella Lewitzky (Lewitzky Dance Co), Jamal Story (Complexions NYC; Cher), Josie Walsh, Alexandre Magno (So You Think You Can Dance; Madonna), Stefan Wenta (Wenta Ballet) and Judith FLEX Helle (Aerial ballet spectacular LedZAerial*).

Additionally, Luminario Ballet presents "LedZAerial", an aerial and ballet show to the music of Led Zeppelin. GREAT for outdoor festivals, corporate parties,  or mixed age group shows. LedZAerial combines the skills of Cirque du Soleil artists with the beauty of ballet and the rock n roll thrill that is Led Zeppelin. Please view our "Kashmir" video on our video page for a sample.
