Rotunda Dance Series: Parangal Dance Company

The high profile Rotunda Dance Series brings the Bay Area’s most acclaimed dance companies to San Francisco City Hall’s rotunda space for free noon-time performances taking place the first Friday of each month. The August event will feature Parangal Dance Company, a Filipino folk dance group based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Join us for this dynamic lunchtime dance performance amidst the grandeur of San Francisco City Hall. This free public performance is part of the Rotunda Dance Series, a partnership between Dancers’ Group and World Arts West with San Francisco’s Grants for the Arts and San Francisco City Hall.

Founded in May 2008 under the leadership of Eric Espartinez Solano, Parangal Dance Company’s mission is to give tribute to Philippine heritage by preserving and promoting ethnic dance, music, and attire through research with experts in the Philippines, free folk dance workshops for the community, and private and civic performances. Parangal aims to inspire pride and connect Filipino Americans to their cultural identity, while educating diverse communities to foster awareness and appreciation of Philippine culture.
