2016 Trolley Dances

Annual free “hop-on hop-off” dance festival along the F-Market line
By - posted 10/15/2016 No Comment

Each year, Epiphany Productions transforms the city’s streets into stages through San Francisco Trolley Dances, a series of free contemporary dance performances along a Muni line.

For the price of a Muni ticket, you’ll get a “hop-on, hop-off” Muni tour to experience an extraordinary lineup of Bay Area dance luminaries performing 8- to 15-minute pieces in response to the physical environment, architecture and history of the area.

San Francisco Trolley Dances is an annual, admission-free festival that has been dubbed “art for citizens” and “a gift to the City” by past attendees.
