Recognized as a national model in the field of dance, Dancers’ Group was founded in 1982. An artist-centric service organization closely connected to its constituents, Dancers’ Group offers a portfolio of programs and services under the categories of Free Public Performances, Audience Development, Fiscal Sponsorship and Information Exchanges and Convenings.

The organization serves as a virtual hub of resources, information and news about the dance ecosystem, providing free access for 70k digital users and over 2,100 members to an online Community Calendar; to “In Dance,” a free online periodical with articles by and relevant to the region’s dance community; and to weekly emails. The organization also offers virtual and in-person support to 103 Fiscally Sponsored projects; distributes CA$H Dance’s re-granting funds ($100k per year) to individual dance artists and small organizations; and offers a free membership program as part of an ongoing effort to continue making programs and services more accessible.

Dancers’ Group also presents the Bay Area Dance Week Festival and produces free live dance performances in alternative spaces via ONSITE. In late 2026, Dancers’ Group will present “Party On! Party People,” a series of free public performances created by artists Erika Chong Shuch, Rowena Richie, and Ryan Tacata in celebration of elders. The ONSITE performance project will bring together five local arts organizations as co-hosts where the parties will take place.
