Dance

Our Mission:

The City College of San Francisco Dance Program is dedicated to serving the community as a whole and is responsive to the diversity of that community. We equally value all dance forms, levels and styles. And we provide education for those with varying goals - either dance movement as part of a general education, health and well being, and/or dance as a primary or secondary career.
