SpARC Dance Festival celebrates the richness of our local dance community by fostering collaboration, artistic growth, and exposure.
This year's festival on September 27th, 2026, includes pop-up shops, free dance classes, a Studio-To-Stage workshop, and a dance performance.
Our vision is to create dance opportunities in San José, providing platforms for dancers, choreographers, and emerging artists to shine.

Guest choreographers and dancers from around the South Bay Area join ArcTangent Dance on stage. This year's performance is on Sunday, September 27th at 4:30 PM.
We are thrilled to offer free community dance classes. These classes are open to all ages and dance abilities and taught by a local teacher.

New to this year, we are introducing a Studio to Stage Performance Workshop. This is open to movers of all levels and genres, at least 18 years old!

We feature local artists and small businesses to sell their goods in the lobby throughout the day on Sunday, September 27th. Reach out if you are a vendor interested in sharing your business!
