ACSF will host its annual youth Batizado and master class event in conjunction with the SF Carnaval Parade.

To support this effort, we bring guest artists to San Francisco to participate with the youth.

The Batizado is a traditional ceremony that welcomes new students into the art, and recognizes the growth of new and continuing students through a changing of cords ceremony. The event brings together students from our school-based and on-site programs. The event includes an opening performance by top-level guest artists and ACSF company members, a youth performance, the batizado and changing of cords ceremony, and an after-party with healthy snacks. Open to the public, donations at the door welcomed.
