This year's Trolley Dances™ will be held Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28th & 29th on the Green Line trolley. Tours will begin at Old Town with stops at Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village and Santa Fe Depot.

Trolley Dances™ was created by former Artistic Director Jean Isaacs to make dance accessible to our entire community by taking art “to the people.” Each fall, tour guides lead groups of audience members on and off the trolley to view original pieces of site-specific choreography. More than 50 community and company dancers perform at various sites. Visit: https://www.sandiegodancetheater.org/trolley-dances San Diego Dance Theater on Instagram and Facebook
