Founded in 2003 to meet the need for contemporary dance opportunities, sjDANCEco serves both the community of San Jose residents and the community of local dance artists. We have put into place exemplary programs that enable local residents to experience top quality contemporary dance performance in San Jose. We have introduced new audiences to dance and, through consistent excellence in our performance series, we strive to instill a lasting appreciation for the art form.
