Celebration of Dance is Arizona’s contribution to this national campaign and was created by Helena Saraydarian, a dance industry professional; choreographer, teacher, and producer. Upon enlisting as Arizona’s delegate for National Dance Week, Miss Saraydarian sensed the need to create a
venue for the dance community to get involved in and for the public to enjoy the creation and the performances of Arizona’s dance artistry.

Golden Lion Productions, Inc. - takes on the task of producing these events. Two years after the launch of the first (April 200) Celebration of Dance, Miss Saraydarian formed this non-profit (501 c 3) volunteer organization serving the community with creative and educational projects and opportunities. A production team is formed each year to help: creative and technical theater professionals and a group of volunteers.

A nationwide search is launched each year for dancers, professional dance companies, and non-
professional yet unique performing groups. The dance community is invited to submit their work by a live audition or a video submission. From all the entries a selection is made by a committee who consists of professional individuals who are active in the dance industry. The result, a wide-range of thrilling and exciting performances by our very own Arizona artists and an exciting display of creative expression for the public to enjoy.
