Nathan and Elyssa

How We Began

LILA Productions began when Elyssa and Nathan Moyer, who initially met while performing in The Nutcracker, recognized the lack of awareness about professional dance in New Hampshire. As proud natives, they aimed to change this narrative by creating a space for collaboration and professional dance. Their first production, the LILA Dance Festival in August 2021, showcased local and international talent, encouraging dancers to explore new movements and ideas. Encouraged by the festival’s success, they established LILA Productions as a 501c3 nonprofit in 2022, with a mission to foster a genuine appreciation for dance in the community and build connections through shared experiences.

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster genuine appreciation for dance among diverse communities in New Hampshire through community outreach, educational initiatives, and live performances.

Our Vision

We envision a dance audience that appreciates the transformative power of dance to foster empathy, understanding, and unity, ultimately creating a more compassionate and interconnected community where every individual’s unique story is celebrated and valued.
