Who We Are

We are a nonprofit organization, classified as 501(c) (3), that focuses on giving back to our community, engaging audiences, and enriching adult and youth development.

We prioritize these 3 main pillars in our programming:

Original Productions

We produce 7-8 productions each year, performing for an audience of over 2,000 people. These productions are multidisciplinary works, combining dance, music, and storytelling to illuminate a topic. We also do one book musical each year, but with the Lineage spin of underscoring the story with more movement than the script calls for

Dance for Joy

This is a program unique to Lineage, focused on providing dance, music, and acting classes to people with Parkinson’s, MS, TBI, and stroke. They also appear in many of our Lineage productions. This program is free to all participants and provides creative ways to manage and mitigate the symptoms of neurological conditions. There are 6.5 hours of classes each week, attended by a community of approximately 30 regular participants.

Performing Arts Education

We provide Teaching Artists in Dance to several Title 1 schools in the Pasadena Unified School District, serving over 350 students each year. These are classes that offer dance opportunities in schools that do not have formal programs and each of the programs are growing annually. We also sponsor the John Muir Mystics Dance Team, providing space free of charge and hosting their summer intensive and dance concert annually. We teach classes in our facility to all ages in Musical Theatre, Modern Dance, and Acting, serving over 100 students each year.

Lineage’s mission is to serve as a hub for artistic connection and creative expression, offering diverse opportunities in dance, music, theater, and the performing arts. For over 25 years, we have advanced community accessibility, arts education, and local artist employment while producing impactful performances and hosting visiting artists. Through strategic partnerships with nonprofits, we leverage the arts to raise awareness and support for causes that strengthen and uplift our community.
