ODC Theater

Top choice in The Mission, Dogpatch & Potrero Hill


For 45 years ODC has been redefining dance with risky, raw performances and the sheer joy of movement. ODC's season runs from September to December, but its stage presents year-round shows featuring local and international artists.

Down the block and across the street at 351 Shotwell St, ODC Dance Commons is a hub and hangout for the dance community, offering 200-plus classes a week from flamenco to vogue, for all levels.
