SUMMARY:Muevelo Mondays
DESCRIPTION:Dance\, Connect\, & Build Community \n​We are psyched to invite you back to Muevelo Mondays temporarily (and appropriately) restructured as a weekly dance gathering at the Bay! Though the location has changed\, the goal remains the same: have fun\, meet new people\, and build a vibrant\, supportive community through the joy of Latin dance. \nEvery week\, we will host an open level donation-based class in a different style (vote when you register & pay what you can). \nNo experience? No funds? No pressure and no judgment—just good music\, great moves\, and a welcoming atmosphere. Bring your friends\, bring your energy\, Come learn\, dance\, and connect. You dont have to be a professional dancer\, you just have to feel the rhythm and allow yourself to have some fun!

SUMMARY:AADF2026 Mainstage Showcase
DESCRIPTION:We will once again close out the festival with our Mainstage Showcase. Last year\, audiences walked away with so many wonderful things to say. Sharing our stories of the AAPI experience proved moving and important work. AAPI audiences felt seen\, while others discovered how different and nuanced our experiences are. \nA curated evening of live dance\, invited dance makers will share personal works that touch on their experience of living multi-culturally. These AAPI choreographers represent different cultural backgrounds and create work in various dance disciplines. Each are inspirational and accomplished artists in their own right. Together they will present an evening of profound sharing and deep questioning. We hope audiences will come away with a richer understanding and appreciation of our AAPI communities and identities.
