2012 in review: The right steps to move L.A. dance scene forward?

A bit of déjà vu in Los Angeles during 2012. Like 2011 – which ended with the announcement that Benjamin Millepied was moving here to start his own arts collective, L.A. Dance Project – this year has drawn to a close with a big announcement that is touted as a major step forward for dance in Los Angeles. Philanthropist Glorya Kaufman has made an undisclosed, but apparently multi-million dollar donation to USC, to help build and endow a top-tier school of dance for the Trojans.
