American Indian Dance Theatre

American Indian Dance Theatre is a professional performing arts company presenting the dances and songs of Native Americans in the United States and the First Nations of Canada. The group was founded in 1987 and includes members from many different tribal backgrounds.

In 2006 American Indian Dance Theatre joined a multicultural consortium called the "Cultural Roundtable" at THE "NEW" LATC, created to bring multicultural theatre to audiences in the Los Angeles Theatre Center venues in downtown Los Angeles. Other performance groups belonging to the Cultural Roundtable include the Latino Theater Company, Playwrights' Arena, Robey Theatre Company, Culture Clash and Cedar Grove OnStage.
