Saudi Arabia to La La Land

BANDALOOP performed at the Mayor of Los Angeles' dedication ceremony last week for La La Land Day on Los Angeles City Hall. "Dancing on City Hall is as magical as it looks. Giving dance to the public in celebration of the human spirit is what we are all about," Associate Artistic Director Melecio Estrella shared in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
