ArtLab J is a Detroit-based dance organization founded in 2012 that combines performance, education, and community engagement. Its work includes curating public performance series, presenting local dance talent through Detroit Dance Race, offering free dance classes for children in partnership with the Detroit Public Library, and leading youth cultural education through a K-POP dance program with Detroit Public Schools. ArtLab J also created the Detroit Dance City Festival, a platform for local and national contemporary dance artists that grew into a national event while remaining rooted in Detroit’s dance community.
