Dance Generators

Generating connection, expression, and presence

Dance Generators is an intergenerational dance company housed at the University of San Francisco’s Performing Arts & Social Justice department. With members ranging in age from their teens to their nineties, the group fosters artistic collaboration between diverse bodies and abilities, while building trust across generations.

In the videos below, you’ll find an introduction to Dance Generators followed by three pairs of younger and older members of the dance company reflecting on their experience connecting and moving together as partners, including what they’ve learned, the bonds they’ve formed, and the contagious nature of intergenerational dance.
