Bay Area Dance Week is a vibrant celebration with more than 400 free events, classes, performances, open rehearsals, lecture demonstrations, and more April 27-May 6, 2018.
Oakland has a large and growing dance community, and several studios, companies, and groups are participating in Bay Area Dance Week. Click here for the schedule and filter by “East Bay”.
If you’ve never danced before, Bay Area Dance Week is a great time to join a class, and there are several beginning classes on the schedule (see below for a quick overview).
If you love dance but don’t want to join in a class, look for the many free performances, open rehearsals, and demonstrations scheduled. AXIS Dance Company and dNaga have open rehearsals, Flying Studios is hosting a performance/workshop, Bay Area Same-Sex Dance Association is hosting a Ballroom Dance Competition, and more!
If you’re already a dancer, invite a friend to class to join in. Bay Area Dance Week is a celebration of dance, and Oakland has so much great dance to celebrate.
Tag us in your Bay Area Dance Week photos, and we’ll share them on our social media feeds. See you in the studio!
