The San Francisco Flamenco Dance Company brings to life the Spanish art form combining guitar playing ("guitarra"), song ("cante"), and dance ("baile"). Flamenco originated in the southern regions of Spain with influences from several other traditions.
The House of Inanna Belly Dance brings a fusion of modern Tribal Style belly dancing with influences from traditional Egyptian cabaret and Silk Road cultures from Morocco, Turkey and India.
The San Jose School of Highland Dance, founded in the 1960s, continues to train highly competitive dancers in the solo dancing style developed in the Scottish Highlands in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This form of dance is traditionally accompanied by the music of the Great Highland bagpipes.
