You don’t need us to tell you that the Bay Area is a hotbed for creativity — but it’s particularly true in the medium of dance.
In honor of Bay Area Dance Week, a 10-day celebration running April 21–30, we’ve curated a few of our most memorable videos. Watch dancers swoop and soar on the cliffs of Marin; meet Antione Hunter, a dancer empowering the deaf community; see how Oakland turfers marry their craft with ballet; watch the co-founder of Dance Brigade reflect on 40 years of artivism, and more.
Once you’re inspired, learn how you can take part in free dance workshops throughout the week.
