Ethnic Dance Festival's public auditions

This weekend, a world of dance comes to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, as hopefuls from ethnic dance troupes across Northern California will audition for the 35th annual San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival.

"It's a great way to see the wonderful variety of cultures we have in this area," says Carlos Carvajal, co-artistic director of the festival. "Nowhere else can you do an international festival of this range in which all the participants live locally. Usually festivals as diverse as this have to bring people from other countries, but we have Mexico folklorico dancers, Indian dance, Spanish, Middle Eastern, Tibetan - and they're all local artists."
