High Quality Training for youth

BrockusED is a sub organization of Brockus Project that works in LAUSD, Long Beach Unified School District with ongoing classes. We also provide master classes and residencies connected with our company touring work. All of the BrockusED programs are under the direction of award winning and internationally recognized master teacher Deborah Brockus. The BrockusRED dancers are also highly skilled teaching artists and we augment this group of teachers with other professionals from the community. Our teaching style is Whole Child method, focusing on well rounded happy kids.

The student community is the future or LA racially and ethnically BIPOC. We focus our work in underserved areas where the youth have limited access to art and exposure to the wide world around them. These youth are 65% Latinx, 20 Black, 5% Asian, 5% Pacific Islander, 5% White.

BrockusED is working to develop a pipeline for the future generation of artists with our teaching, workshops, residencies, black box showcases and larger productions.

What People Are Saying

“To start, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for this opportunity that has allowed my son to experience life at a whole new level. Ms. Deb and her crew have been an eye opener to my son as a new horizon. He has learned so much about not only dance but how much as individuals relate to arts...The field trips and the exposure to rhythmic patterns, the flow of water, the pounce of animals and being able to bring objects in our home to life has been so much fun. I would LOVE to continue with this program and hopefully broaden this with the other children as well.”

For us that was never the goal but to see Marit change was a real joy.”

I had got to experience the uniqueness of all the teacher’s ways of the way they move and got to put a little bit of each one of their style into the way I dance. I had met many new and old friends and each person was amazing. The choreography is awesome in each class because you can move your own way and be more open and free to put your style in the choreography ...”
