Contemporary Dance Lab bridges the gap between aspiring dancers and the world of contemporary dance, fostering connections that inspire and elevate the next. As distinguished students and alumni of Juilliard, the CDL faculty bring together diverse stories that exemplify the multiplicity of pathways in the dance world. Through intensives and workshops, we offer the culmination of our esteemed education at Juilliard and our professional careers. We aim to impart our professional knowledge, gathered from our own careers, to our students. Attending CDL will provide students with an insider's perspective on how to become a professional dancer in today's world.
Contemporary Dance Lab, founded by Michaella Ho, unites students and alumni of Juilliard Dance with a passion to share our wealth of knowledge and experiences with the next wave of dance enthusiasts.
We strive to demystify and expand the definition of dance careers by offering pragmatic tools and strategies and empowering individuals to become capable, independent, and thriving artists. Ultimately, we assist young dancers in finding meaning in being a dancer.
