Sona Gevorkian of Gevorkian Dance Academy in Los Angeles recognizes that "it is through art that cultures come together."

As a choreographer and dance instructor at the Gevorkian Dance Academy, Sona leverages dance to connect her students to their Armenian culture and ancestral roots. The Gevorkian Dance Academy was established in 1995 by Sona’s parents, Vartan and Siranush Gevorkian. Since its inception they’ve had numerous successful concert tours, including three consecutive sold out performances at the National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet in Yerevan.
