The 19th annual San Pedro Festival of the Arts brings 18 vibrant dance companies, interactive performances and free family fun to the heart of the harbor. Bring a picnic blanket, join in a Bollywood step or a flamenco turn and enjoy an afternoon of world-class dance under the San Pedro sun.

A unique feature will be called “2 Moves” – a chance for the audience to learn “2 Moves” from each performance before or between dances, turning spectators into participants and getting a chance to experience some of the nuances of the piece. Those in the audience who wish, can learn and dance on the lawn and return to their chairs or blankets to watch the next dances. A free raffle drawing will also take place during the show.

Companies in many genres include Degas Dance Studio Performance Team, Encore Dance Company, Irvine Valley Dance Department – Performing Dance Ensemble, Spectrum Dance Center, Katrina Ji & Culture Shakti, Louise Reichlin & Dancers / Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, milkleaf, Sindhoor Natya - Navarasa Dance Theater, VIDA – Vannia Ibarguen Dance Arts, Dhoon Dance, DrumatiX, Jazz Spectrum Dance Company, Jose Costas Contempo Ballet, LINEAGE MVMT, Megill & Company, RISSTHEMOVEMENT, Pasion Flamenca Los Angeles, The Southern California Dance Theatre.
