Bay Area Dance Week is back with 100+ free events spread across 10 days in late April and early May. This is the kind of festival that reminds you why we live here — dance companies, independent artists, clubs, and venues all participate, so there’s something happening everywhere. Whether you’re into contemporary, hip hop, ballet, experimental movement, or just want to dance at a free party, you’ll find it. Many events are actually free, which is rare and generous.
