About us

Golden Lion Productions, Inc. (Arizona) officialy gained its title when it became a non-profit organization in 2003. It was originally formed as a small group in the fall of 1999 by Helena Saraydarian (teacher-producer-choreographer) to help with the production of the first Celebration of Dance concert to be launched in the following year. When it was first formed the group was named AZ Dance Production Team and consisted of four industry professionals lead by Helena Saraydarian, with (Director/Choreographer) Dee Dee Wood, (Dancer/Actress) Gina Tleel, (dancer/teacher/choreographer) Abby Stewart-Reinoso, and a handful of wonderful volunteers.

The first Celebration of Dance concert was successfuly launched on April 25, 2000 at the historical Phoenix Theater to an enthusiastic and supportive audiance. In April 2009 marked the 10th anniversary of these concert series!

For the past ten years Golden Lion Productions, Inc. has been presenting various events for the local community's benefit. In addition to the annual Celebration of Dance concert series, other projects include; "Bravo" a song & dance challenge (2001-2003), "I was" an original play premiered in Sedona Arizona, several "Dance-Drama" workshops, "L.A. Talent Agency" and "Dance & Music Industry" workshops with out-of-town guest speakers and several other various classes, workshops, and speaking engagements.
