The Presidio Performing Arts Foundation (PPAF) has a 26 year history of advancing justice through dance. The foundation’s two main initiatives include DANCEOUT! and Presidio Dance Theatre.
DANCEOUT!, uplifts historically underserved communities. In partnership with SFUSD and the YMCA, 280,000+ Bay Area students and families have benefitted from our free public performances, lectures, and community classes, including our annual Children’s Day at the SF War Memorial Opera House. 85% of our DANCEOUT! students are the first in their families to attend a university; 99% of our graduates pursue a college education.
Presidio Dance Theatre, widely recognized for its signature style of Ethno-Classical Ballet and for supporting global humanitarian causes, has received numerous accolades, including the U.S. State Department’s award for “Excellence in Cultural Diplomacy & Dance.” PDT has engaged in 13 international tours, representing the U.S.and 5 official SF Sister City Exchanges. Global audiences have exceeded 12 million.
