Celebrating its 20th season, the 17th Annual Festival of Dance & Music features two weeks of world premieres, performances, master classes, and celebrations at venues in San Francisco.

The second weekend of the Festival, entitled Reunión/Gathering, features a mixed program showcasing performances by local and visiting companies: Alafia Dance Ensemble (San Francisco), Agua Doce (Santa Cruz, CA), Cuicacalli (San Francisco), Emilio Hernandez Gonzalez (Havana, Cuba), and Los Lupeños de San José (San Jose, CA).  Each will perform original choreography rooted in the Caribbean and its Diaspora based on the theme of reunión or gathering, which can be either a noun or a verb, something we do or is done.
