In their seventh season presenting free monthly dance performances in San Francisco City Hall’s extraordinary rotunda, Dancers’ Group and World Arts West continue their partnership to bring audiences lunchtime glimpses into movement and musical traditions from around the world.
This May, the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts (SOTA) World Music and Dance Department will present excerpts from their April Takeover performance, including Bhangra, Bollywood, West African, and Taiko styles.
The World Music and Dance Department at SOTA, the only such program in the country, teaches high school students in 9th-12th grade a variety of music and dance forms, including Afro-Brazilian, West African, Afro-Cuban, Taiko, Bhangra, Bollywood, Salsa and more. Monina Sen Cervone and Joti Singh direct the program.
The Rotunda Dance Series continues to bring many of the Bay Area’s most celebrated dance companies to San Francisco City Hall for free monthly noon-time performances and is presented by Dancers’ Group and World Arts West in partnership with Grants for the Arts and SF City Hall.
