A place for the arts and community

Now the most active contemporary dance center on the West Coast, we are unique for our breadth of  programming and its far-reaching impact: more than 10,000 take part in our training, mentoring, commissioning, presenting, health and rehearsal rental programs. The two building campus includes eight studios, 3 performance venues, and several office suites.  The Commons is home to a world-class dance company, ODC/Dance, a professional, pre-professional, and recreational dance training program, ODC School and Rhythm and Motion Dance Program, a Healthy Dancer’s Clinic, a Pilates Training Center and a nationally regarded presenting program, ODC Theater.

“The ODC facility, like the searching, generous personality of its founders, continues to be a San Francisco landmark and invaluable beacon for movers and thinkers busily crafting a bridge that connects the concerns of today with the luminous promise of the future.”
–Bill T. Jones
