Bay Area Dance Week is Back!

SAVE THE DATE - Saturday, April 22, 2023. After a 3-year hiatus, Bay Area Dance Week (BADW for short) is back and Rhythm & Motion is proud to partner alongside Dancers' Group, Yerba Buena Gardens Festival and World Arts West to present the big public opening event at the beautiful Yerba Buena Gardens.

Join hundreds of dancers at our BADW favorite flashmob-style performance, "One Dance," featuring dances to Pink's Never Gonna Not Dance Again and the inspiring Jerusalema by Master KG and Nomcebo Zikode. After we dance, stay for free performances and classes celebrating our vibrant Bay Area dance community! No experience required. Everyone is welcome.

Reminder about the class price changes at ODC 

For those of you who dance with us at the ODC Dance Commons, a reminder that starting April 1, ODC and Rhythm & Motion will be raising our class prices for the first time since April 2019. This increase will allow us to provide more equitable pay to our instructors while helping to cover the rising costs of providing the services, amenities, and health and safety practices at the ODC Dance Commons. 

ODC and Rhythm & Motion remain committed to the belief that anyone should be able to dance, and we will continue to make dance classes accessible to as many of our community members as possible. If price is a barrier, please consider applying for our Arts Access and/or work exchange programs.

We are grateful to continue dancing with you and thank you for your dedication to our community.
