OTE Dance Studio and The Artist Collective: Empowering Through Dance

OTE Dance Studio is proud to partner with The Artist Collective, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2005 by Robert Gilliam. Together, our mission is to provide a creative outlet for minority dance artists and underserved communities in Los Angeles.

Through this powerful partnership, Robert, his staff, and OTE Dance Studio teachers will offer a range of programs and opportunities to inspire and empower young dancers. These include school and community dance programs, classes, arts camps, workshops, and special events.

Since its founding, The Artist Collective has made a profound impact, serving thousands of students at over 60 schools throughout LA County. We are excited to continue and expand this important work, providing access to high-quality dance education and nurturing the next generation of diverse dance leaders.

Join us in our mission to empower through dance and make a difference in our communities.

Robert Gilliam was recently awarded and featured as a Dance/USA Artist Fellow.
