Thirty-five leading companies and more than 500 dancers and musicians will come together for the month of June to celebrate the 35th Anniversary San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, highlighting the breadth and diversity of the Bay Area's world dance community. Festival Artistic Directors Carlos Carvajal and CK Ladzekpo shine a spotlight on cultural legacy and the artists who continue to inspire a new generation of Bay Area dancers and dance lovers. Since its inauguration in 1978, the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival has maintained its pre-eminent scope and reputation as one of the most comprehensive, widely respected, diverse, and engaging events of its kind in the world. The 35th Anniversary Festival runs June 7 through 30 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and other San Francisco venues.
