ALTERED MODALITIES
Debuting their first full length concert in October 2002, they have since been asked to perform as guest artists in numerous concerts, benefits, and showcases throughout the 
country. They recently performed in the annual festival for Dancers Responding to AIDS in New York City and showcased in the L.A. Dance Invitational, a benefit for the Gay and Lesbian Center in Los Angeles.

DANZA
Danza Latin Dance ensemble was born from the desire to display the latin culture and it’s immense gamma of dance genres.  Danza aims to showcase the roots of latin dance with a major emphasis in Salsa. In present times the global dance community has been taken by surprise, by the powerful influence of Salsa music and dance.  It has become a language throughout the world, uniting people of all ethnicities, cultures and ages.

2ND STREET DANCERS
the 2nd Street dancers participated in the L’Estate Romana a Le Terrazze” di Casalpalocco festival and delighted audiences with their original show “With Love From California”. In 2001 they performed as U.S. Cultural Ambassadors to China. In 2003 they performed to standing room only European audiences in Greece. This led to an invitation to dance in the Noches Caribbean International Arts Festival near Cancun Mexico in 2005. 

TANJORA
Lydia has been bellydancing since 1998. Specializing in Tribal Fusion style bellydance since 2000, she is the director of Tanjora Tribal Bellydance, Tanjora Tribal Fire, Banat Tanjora Renaissance Guild, and Arabian Nights Bellydance Entertainment Agency,  and teaches bellydance at the California Arts Academy in Fresno. She also has training in Egyptian and Turkish style bellydance, ballet, modern dance, music, and the visual arts.

UNIVERSITY DANCE THEATER
With My Own Eyes is a contemporary dance work of choreographer Lindsay Joe Settle of University Dance that provides an active danced based atmosphere in which students can express their distinct personalities through artistic expression at California State University, Fresno. Under the direction of Kenneth Balint the group strives to provide talented students from all artistic sectors of the California State University Fresno community with a personally supportive and intellectually challenging dance-based environment.

DANCIN MAN
JohnnieRay is the creator “Freestyle Swing” and “Bal Swing”.  He is a certified dance instructor and has brought his 20 plus years of experience to classes in the Clovis and Fresno adult education programs.  He currently offers private classes in many locations in both cities.

HM DANCE
Fusing traditional and creative Hmong dance, HmDance provides the opportunity for Hmong dancers to actively engage themselves in choreography, fundraising, costume design and philanthropy.   HmDance was founded in 2007 in belief that Hmong arts have a unique power to engage its youth and motivate them towards excellence. 

DRUMAGIC
Drumagic has performed at numerous community festivals, educational and cultural events throughout the central San Joaquin Valley.  The magic of rhythm of both movement and sound is the lifebeat that connects Drumagic with the community. 

Drumagic has been sharing a blend of West African and afro-Latin rhythms for 12 years with no sign of slowing down.  The Drumagic mission is to practice the oldest and richest musical traditions of the mother planet and to share the rhythm of her creativity expressed thru that lifebead of drum, dance and song.www.drumagic.com 

BAYANIHAN
The Bayanihan Association of America is a not for profit community service association in the City of Fresno. Also known as Samahang Bayanihan, it was incorporated in August, 2003. Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of the people in our community, especially those of Filipino descent and ethnicity, through civic, cultural and social services for all ages.

BABA FOR NOW 
is like a garage band for dancers, writers and performance artists. The eclectic troupe was founded by Andrea De Zubiria and Kara Bithell in 2002 to provide a forum for non-traditional dancers interested in movement based art.  Current members also include Hannah DeGroot and Aimee Morales.  What can you expect from one of our shows?  A simple gesture, a gorgeous lift, maybe a free ride in an office chair, dance with giant rubber bands or old tire treads, a tear jerking story,  or a recipe swap in 50s aprons. 

DANCE STUDIO OF FRESNO 
In addition to regular dance classes, students at The Dance Studio of Fresno are presented with unique Master Class opportunities.  Sue enjoys friendships with numerous well known dancers and choreographers who bring their talent to the Studio.  The list of recent Master Teachers includes Mia Michaels, Marguerite Derricks, Dee Caspary, Barry Youngblood, Brian Friedman, Tyce DiOrio, Chebar Williams, Gina Starbuck, Ted Levy, Mark Goodman, and others.  Also, the Studio is one of only 3 locations hosting The Annual Chebar Williams CIA Method Summer Intensive.
