Organization Summary

Donna Sternberg & Dancers (DS&D) presents compelling live performances, educational and community-based programs to audiences that are diverse in age, culture, economic class, ethnic background and gender. Through our life-long learning program, we seek to educate and involve audiences by presenting lecture/demonstrations, panel discussions with scientists and artists, teaching classes and workshops, and conducting post-performance discussions. Our community-based programs offer community members the opportunity to join in the creative process by helping to create and participate in performances with company members. DS&D curates, produces and presents programs that feature diverse dance forms such as contemporary, jazz, hip hop, Bharatanatyam, folklorico and tap, and dance cultures including Mexican, Indian, African-American, Middle Eastern, Filipino, Korean, Maori and Peruvian. The company performs in site-specific locations such as parks, galleries, empty lots, libraries and the beach as well as in traditional theaters.
