32nd Annual San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival
"What other city in the world has anything like the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival?
...I heartily envy the Bay Area residents..."
- Alastair Macaulay, New York Times dance critic
From the powerful dance and music of Haiti to a special Mexican Bicentennial Tribute, the 32nd Annual San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival will once again impress Bay Area audiences with a cultural feast unparalleled in the world.
Nearly 600 performers will take to the stage as 37 top Bay Area dance companies represent over 20 cultures in four weekends in June at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts. Devoted to nurturing the work of Northern California dancers, this year marks two new highs: the debut of a record 26 world premieres—almost twice as many as in previous years—and the commission of a record four new works, including a Mexican Bicentennial Tribute created by acclaimed choreographer Zenón Barrón and featuring dancers from six local companies. In addition to these exciting performances, audiences will enjoy many companies that have never before appeared at the Festival.
