Music & Entertainment! 

Main Stage (19th Ave)

With vocals as smooth as aged whiskey, and a warm and lush compositional style inspired by the likes of Strayhorn, Evans and Jobim, Oddity follows in the long-standing tradition of queer jazz expression, all while blending in modern elements of hip-hop and neo-neo-soul. 

Oddity’s music is a reflection of her Sagittarius spirit: spontaneous, improvisational, passionate. As a transfeminine woman of color, her lived conditions have manifested a certain yin-yang quality to her sound, as if a struggle between hope and despair, rage and tenderness, revenge and forgiveness brews right beneath the surface.

In her debut album series “The Oddisea”, Oddity explores this messy yet alchemical process of transition, of having to reinvent oneself, of having to let old selves die in order for new selves to be born. Oddity’s story is one of navigating the smoke and mirrors of false salvation, looking deeply into the abyss of the unknown and uncertain, and ultimately claiming boldly for oneself the type of revolutionary self-love that transcends judgement, destroys binaries, and fosters community.

Under Yang Chun’s guidance, the group has learned 40 to 50 Chinese ethnic and folk dances, as well as dances from seven other countries. The team is passionate about charitable and community activities, regularly participating in events to support various causes.
The San Francisco Community Dance Group has been serving the community for seven years. Their mission is to bring joy to seniors through dance. Both the teacher and students volunteer their time, with Amy Tsang teaching dance classes every Friday at the Jackie Chan Center. The group’s dedication to community service is evident in their ongoing commitment to enriching the lives of older adults.

This wonderful group consists of seniors who participate in the activities at the John King Senior Center. They gather twice a week for sessions that are as enriching as they are enjoyable, blending leisure, learning, and practice in a supportive community setting.

A vibrant band that encompasses a wide range of musical styles, including rhythm and blues, reggae, rap, and country western. With a love for playing music, the band has backed up various musicians and singers, showcasing their versatility and passion for the art form.

 

Their style of music can be described as a blend of rock, R&B, funk, contemporary jazz, and dance music. Loafers & Sneakers is known for delivering a jazzy, funky, and worldly sound that captivates audiences, making them tap their feet, clap their hands, and feel good. Once you hear Loafers & Sneakers, you’re hooked.

FatChanceBellyDance® Style is a modern group improvisational style of belly dance created by Carolena Nericcio in San Francisco in 1987, and now this dance format is enjoyed around the world. 

The movements are inspired by folkloric dances from the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, and India. Yuka studied with her master teacher, Carolena, for over a decade and performed in the professional troupe until 2021.

 Yuka continues teaching and performing both domestically and internationally to spread her love of dancing!
