San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival
My mom and I volunteered last year. It was great. In my mind I'm making it a tradition. So we'll be there again today!
World dance is truly incredible. The spirit of our humanity is felt so immensely and with such clarity, despite the intricate color and detail of movement. The tradition aspect of world based dance, means that it comes from something forgotten, but carried through in only the gesture. Passed down from generations through the ages, things may have shifted, but in essence the dances remain the same. The primordial fire exists in all the performers from all the different countries on one stage in the multi-cultural home of San Francisco.
