Dance Non-Profit
Everybody Dance LA! Transforms lives and communities through the power of dance. EDLA! was founded in 1999 by Liza Bercovici in memory of her daughter, Gabriella, who loved to dance. Programing began in 2000 with 35 first-time dancers in a low-income housing community in Los Angeles. Today, EDLA! is a vibrant and culturally diverse community which provides both In-School and After-School dance education to nearly 7,000 youth at 38 locations. Alex Dilks Pandola, EDLA! Executive Director and Pamela Bash, EDLA! Development & Communications Director who has served as a Rotarian for 20 years, will share the great work that cultivates life-skills such as collaboration, discipline, and self-expression while building physical and mental health for today’s youth who are tomorrow’s leaders.
