About TL2 Productions

We are Taletha and Letha; the “Letha” is squared, creating TL2. However, we are far from square!

TL2 is a general partnership dedicated to providing more World dance and music to the Louisville and Southern Indiana communities.

~Letha is a former dancer with the Crescent Moon Dance Company and a musician with professional experience in music marketing and events planning. She continues to work with the Crescent Moon Dance Company today as promotional support.

~Taletha is a Colorado native who found herself in Kentucky in 1999 where she became one of Louisville's most active professional belly dancers. She is also a member of the Crescent Moon Dance Company and a classically trained musician. Taletha currently works full time teaching and performing the art of belly dance in the Louisville area.

Who would ever imagine two people with such similar and unusual names would ever meet? Through all the decisions we made along the way after birth (where we live, what we do) we ended up in the River City dancing together and having a ball. Now we are hoping to share our love of dance with the entire community by helping dancers of all styles improve and share their art.

Currently our focus is on belly dance and world dance events such as: belly dance shows, belly dance workshops, and fund raisers involving the Louisville and Southern Indiana belly dance communities. Our mission is to provide more dance opportunities for not only professional belly dancers, but also for students. Want to see what's coming up? Check out our events!
