Founded in 1999 by Micaya, the San Francisco Hip-Hop Dance Festival was the first of its kind to present hip-hop dance in a formal theatrical setting. The festival serves as a global meeting ground for world-class artists, celebrating the diversity and evolution of the genre through two distinct programs of awe-inspiring choreography.
Festival Highlights:
- Global Showcases: Experience a curated selection of professional dance companies from across the globe, performing styles ranging from breaking and popping to contemporary hip-hop fusion and turfing.
- The Palace Setting: The breathtaking Palace of Fine Arts Click to open side panel for more information provides a majestic backdrop for the raw energy and precision of urban dance.
