A cutting-edge contemporary dance troupe, Sarah Bush Dance Project has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most versatile dance companies in San Francisco. The group innovates modern dance with hip hop choreography and uses wide ranges of music–from folk to electronic–along with visual images to illustrate and parallel the variety and differences in human experiences and emotion.

A constant through SBDP’s work is the expression, emotion, and humanity in the dancers’ performance quality. The company explores issues of identity, gender, and sexuality within the broader themes of love, relationships, loss, power and empowerment.

Sarah Bush Dance Project works successfully at making the art of dance accessible to more and more communities and types of people by performing in locations as diverse as the company’s style—everything from parks to nightclubs to churches as well as the traditional theater environment.
