WHO WE ARE
Lineage Performing Arts Center is your home for connecting through the arts in Pasadena, CA, and Los Angeles County. 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.
HOW LINEAGE GIVES BACK
Amy C.
“Parkinson’s can be a very isolating disease. Coming together as a community with others similarly-challenged is inspiring and comforting. When we dance, act, sing and move we help fight the progression of disability in our disease and we see ourselves in each other. Our differences are no longer exceptional in this space, they are comfortingly common.”

“Lineage is always cutting edge, when it comes to "critical issues" shows. Musicals are always creatively staged, choreographed and acted. Your Dance for Joy program is ultra important and creates such a sense of family for those with Parkinson's and other neurological issues. You are all the best!!!!!!!!?”
Evonne R.
"With the freedom that modern dance has to offer [people] of different body types and the opportunities to dance for local causes, the Lineage Dance Company is able to offer the unique opportunity for these [people] to continue growing...while doing what they love to do, dance."
