Lourdes Leon knows the ins and outs of New York's vibrant art scene. Recently, she was spotted at "Tundra," a dance show choreographed by her close friend Aimee Grumbach. The performance, held at Pageant in East Williamsburg, took place over two nights, February 5th and 6th. Lourdes was there, front and center, sharing the magic on her Instagram stories.
In her stories, Leon captured the essence of the show with videos of the performers and intimate moments with Grumbach, who was seen holding flowers and surrounded by friends. It's clear that Lourdes is not just a spectator but a passionate participant in the art community.
“I think dance and music are synonymous. I grew up doing ballet until I was 19, and when I went to SUNY Purchase, I discovered modern dance, and it changed my life because I knew I didn’t want to be a ballet dancer; I wasn’t emotionally connected to it,” she shared in an interview with i-D.
Lourdes Leon's love for dance has seamlessly intertwined with her passion for music. Known by her stage name, Lolahol, she released her first EP titled "Go" in 2022. Despite the challenges of being Madonna's daughter, Lourdes is carving her own artistic path. "I have such a high standard for visuals, audio, character, humor, style — everything — because that’s what I’ve been exposed to my whole life," she once mentioned in an interview.
It's not just her talent that sets her apart, but her determination to earn her place in the industry. "I want to feel like I deserve things and not just like I’ve been given things," she said, acknowledging the privilege and expectations that come with her family name. Lourdes is clearly on a mission to prove herself beyond the shadow of being a 'nepotism baby.'
As Lourdes Leon continues to embrace her dual passions for dance and music, her presence in the New York art scene grows stronger. Her support for friends like Aimee Grumbach speaks volumes about her commitment to the arts and her community. With her unique blend of dance, music, and personal flair, Lourdes is set to make a lasting impact, both on and off the stage.
