Visceral Roots Dance Co has appreciated performance opportunities throughout California and beyond. We are ecstatic to invite our friends and family to our new home, Shawl-Anderson Dance Center!

An Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Celebration Event

​

This spring, Shawl-Anderson Dance Center is hosting a gathering for dance artists who identify as Pacific Islander. Please join us to connect, share, and inspire each other as the community reopens in 2021. What is your experience making work as a Pacific Islander in the mainland US? Lisa Tenorio, SADC staff member and native of Guam, will facilitate the discussion.
