Arts & Events

For years, Mary Sano--an exquisite dancer and choreographer--has been teaching and performing Isadora Duncan's style of dance in Mary's studio on 5th Street in San Francisco, not far from where Isadora was born on May 27th, 138 years ago. 

And for the past 18 years, Mary's celebrated her idol's birthday with the Dionysian Festival, this year featuring her and her Duncan Dancers, Benjamin Akelea Belew playing neo-classical piano, Tony Chapman with contemporary piano and voice, Ricardo Diaz and Koko de la Isla with flamenco guitar and dance, Adriana Ratsch-Rivera on classical guitar and Saman Mahmaudi on santour, tombak, voice. 

A true celebration--for everyone. 

Saturday at 8, Sunday at 5 at the Mary Sano Studio of Duncan Dance, 245 Fifth Street (between Howard and Folsom), #314, San Francisco. *18 & $20. duncandance.org
