SpectorDance

Mission

SpectorDance’s mission is “To Create and Present Dance that Makes a Difference!”
Everything we do—whether creative, pedagogical, community-oriented, and managerial—serves this purpose. We see dance as a means of coming together communally. Dance can be a vehicle for education and enlightenment. Dance can inform, build deep empathy, and inspire action. Dance can transform both participants and viewers.

The Big Idea

SpectorDance is thrilled to announce our newest Big Idea: King City Dance Week!

From February 26 to March 1, 2025, SpectorDance will present contemporary dance performances and movement workshops taught by visiting guest artists.

King City is a low-income, agricultural community with Hispanics making up over 80% of its population.

King City also has the beautiful Robert Stanton Theater, a state-of-the-art, historic venue. This venue is a wonderful asset for King City!

In March 2024, SpectorDance presented our “Ocean Trilogy Project” at the Stanton Theater for over 900 youth. SpectorDance was thrilled to work with Jeff Hindersheid, executive director of Sol Treasures. Jeff and Fran are building upon their past successes with King City Dance Week to expand opportunities for experiencing contemporary dance in King City.

We are excited to present visiting NYC-based Exit 12 Dance Company, renown for performances based on stories from veterans experiences.

At Sol Treasures, we recognize the importance of fostering partnerships with like- minded organizations such as SpectorDance. By joining forces, we can amplify our efforts in promoting awareness and appreciation of the diverse cultural tapestry of our communities. Fran Spector's commitment to creating inclusive spaces where different cultures converge and thrive resonates deeply with our own objectives. In spring 2024, we had the privilege of presenting "Ocean Trilogy" to an audience of 900 youth. The overwhelming success of this program has inspired us to expand our efforts in 2025, We are very excited about our newest shared vision, King City Dance Week. This event will infuse the King City population with dance classes in a wide variety of styles, performances by various choreographers, and other dance-related offerings. By bringing diverse dance forms to our community, we hope to inspire and engage residents of all ages and backgrounds.
