Organization Summary
Founded in 1999 by Micaya, The SF International Hip Hop DanceFest exists to support the cultural artistry and theatrical integrity of hip hop dance. The core programmatic goals of the SFIHHDF are to:
> Support the evolution of hip hop dance by presenting a range of innovative, high-caliber dance companies with world-class production values. Through these efforts, our goal is to garner positive attention for this rich artistic genre from dancers, audiences and the media.
> Broaden understanding of both dance and hip hop culture on the part of our audience and the Bay Area community, and use SFIHHDF as a vehicle for bringing together 3,500-4,000 culturally and economically diverse audiences to the theater.
> Contribute to the ongoing development and evolution of the genre by providing a consistent forum for its artists; by facilitating connections among hip hop dance artists, and providing mentorship opportunities for young dancers, and emerging artists and companies.
