About SPArc FestivAl

SpARC Dance Festival celebrates the richness of our local dance community by fostering collaboration, artistic growth, and exposure. 

​

The festival includes pop-up shops, free dance classes, and a dance performance.

 

Our vision is to create dance opportunities in San José, providing platforms for dancers, choreographers, and emerging artists to shine.

We feature local artists and small businesses to sell their goods in the lobby throughout the day. Reach out if you are a vendor interested in sharing your business!

We are thrilled to offer a free community dance class. This class is open to all ages and dance abilities and taught by a local teacher.
