Kerry Adams Hapner, Director of Cultural Affairs for the City of San José said: "CityDance San José brings vibrancy to our downtown core and invites local artists to engage with our community. It is a pleasure to welcome this event's return. CityDance is an evening to connect with your friends, family, and artists through great dance, music, art, and food. Join us on the dance floor to celebrate various cultures and genres each night."
This year's dates and music genres are: June 15 – Country Line Dancing; July 20 – K-Pop; August 17 – Salsa; September 21 – World Dance Mosaic. Events will take place from 6 – 9 p.m., no advance registration is needed.

Rick Jensen, Communications Director for the San Jose Downtown Association said: "The spectacle of CityDance is near the top of the list of downtown San José's summer gems. Here's a series where beginner dancers of all ages and cultures get free instruction and are eventually joined by a live band and the best dancers in the city of that genre. Hundreds celebrate in movement and choreography as dusk descends on the city. Perfection!"
The popular series has attracted more than 10,000 people over its six years running so far and past local performers and dance instructors have included Bloco Do Sol, Latin Heat, DJ Chale Brown, Parang, Starzz Dance Academy, and Discos Resaca Collective.
CityDance San José is co-presented by the City of San José Office of Economic Development & Cultural Affairs (OEDCA) and the San José Museum of Art. For more information visit sjdowntown.com or follow OEDCA on social media: Instagram @SJCulture or Facebook @sanjoseculture
