10 years of Rhythms, Resistance, and Community!
In celebration of La Mezcla’s 10 year anniversary, La Mezcla’s 10 year Anniversary Concert and Community Celebration will be held at Brava Theater, highlighting the dance, music and cultural traditions that La Mezcla was built on, and celebrating the community and artists that have been with the company since the beginning.
The full length concerts will feature company repertoire from the last decade, excerpts of our award winning productions Pachuquísmo & Ghostly Labor, the SF debut of our new dance film “Convivencia,” which documents the voices and experiences of migrant domestic laborers in SF, a sneak peek of our new project El Ahualulco, and La Mezcla’s first ever community cast of tap dancers and Son Jarocho artists.
Connecting with the community through an expanded season of free and donation based dance workshops, a free public reception, and a free Son Jarocho fandango, La Mezcla’s 10 year anniversary concert is a safe space for our community members to gather, share their stories and convivir through our dance, music and our shared experiences.

He quickly immersed himself in the art form, enrolling at Wadleigh Performing Arts High School and the Harlem School of the Arts, where he honed his movement skills. Following a successful career in New York City, Gerson has taught and performed both nationally and internationally. His choreographic contributions at Artist at the Center, led by Ayodele Casel, along with his work with the acclaimed company Music From the Sole, garnered significant recognition, including a feature in The New York Times in 2024 for his achievements as a performer and choreographer. Currently, Gerson serves as a lecturer in the Theater and Dance Department at San Francisco State University.
