We're a nonprofit performance collective based in California’s beautiful Morongo Basin. Dance Mojave is a nonprofit performance collective founded in 2024.

We’re bringing together dancers of all ages and abilities for original performances, immersive community events, and creative collaborations. With a growing network of movement artists and creators, we are building a vibrant community for expression and connection. Join us as we bring dance to the desert in new and interesting ways. We’re just getting started!

Dance Mojave is delighted to announce Lara Bennett as Artistic Director for this year’s Desert Nutcracker. This marks her fifth major production with the company, including Wild Stages and The Planets. She will drive creative choices and lead technical aspects of the performance. Lara is level-headed, inclusive, and innovative (also very funny!). We are grateful to have her at the helm guiding this new desert tradition.

This season, Lara will also create the Datura Variation and Jackrabbit Variation. She will also co-choreograph the Battle Scene with youth choreographer in residence Kyra Collins.

Lara brings over 20 years of training in ballet, lyrical, character and modern dance. In addition to her work with Dance Mojave, Lara teaches dance, gymnastics and fitness for youth and adults through the Town of Yucca Valley and City of 29 Palms. She also performs with musical groups Daytime Moon and Riverswept.
