LEVYdance is based in San Francisco’s SOMA district at Studio Gracia. Founded in 2002 by Benjamin Levy, Artistic Director, LEVYdance has developed into a recognized performing arts organization with a distinct artistic aesthetic that has earned accolades from The San Francisco Chronicle to The New York Times.

LEVYdance has presented original works at prestigious venues across the nation including the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater, Zellerbach Playhouse, ODC Theater, The Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Cowell Theater, Dance Place, Joyce SoHo, and internationally at VDU University in Kaunas Lithuania and the Tanzmesse Festival in Dusseldorf, Germany. LEVYdance’s 2008 Home Season came to life on custom staging under the stars against the backdrop of mural-painted brick buildings in the streets of San Francisco’s industrial SOMA district. National and international touring endeavors continue to expand, including a choreographic commission for Scottish Dance Theatre in Dundee, Scotland, and a residency in France.
