As part of the showcase, Village Dancers 2001 debuts SFSU student choreography set and taught for child performers from the Visitacion Valley unit of the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco, Saturday, December 8 at 3 pm.

The Village Dancers include over 20 boys and girls who participate in a newly established dance program at the Visitacion Valley unit of the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco.
