Description: 
People Like Me, the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival's arts education program, presents a 1-hour performance at theaters in San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose in March each year. PLM features five diverse ethnic dance and music styles in an interactive theatrical format format for grades K-8. Each year's program embeds a theme and curriculum topics connected to the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework  (dance, music, theatre, visual arts) and to the California State Standards (literary arts, science, history, geography, social studies, math), and highlight the diversity of cultural expression and language. PLM is connected to the highly acclaimed San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival. Professional development workshops and residencies in dance and movement are available. Each June, under the direction of Executive Director, Julie Mushet, the SF Ethnic Dance Festival showcases a dynamic and diverse cast of 35 professional world music and dance companies from Northern California. Events include dance performances, family matinees, children's programming, master classes, and community events.
