The Village Dancers was founded in 2000 by dance professor Albirda Rose. It is a community-service learning program, designed to help low-income children work through their challenges and harness their personal power through movement, singing and dance performance. Students from SF State use dance as a medium to teach discipline, leadership, inter-cultural communication, and socialization skills to children ages 8-16.
