The AXIS Dance Company, a pioneering Oakland-based professional dance group, began in 1987. Today, founding dancer Judith Smith is the artistic director of a creative, groundbreaking group of dancers– some with disabilities, and others without.
The San Francisco Bay Area is known as one of the best cities for dance, and AXIS has thrived as a professional touring company, offering educational programs not only in Oakland, but in cities throughout the country.
Watch “The Art of Movement,” an exploration of the current AXIS repertory.
More stories about AXIS, its dancers, and the art of physically integrated dance are coming soon.
