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.
