Welcomed by SDSCPA Dance Dept. Chair Annette Barcelona and Dance Faculty Jessica Curiel, is Monica Bill Barnes, a choreographer, performer, and the Artistic Director of Monica Bill Barnes & Company. Barnes founded MBB&CO in 1997 with a collection of solos that could be performed anywhere. In 2013, MBB&CO began working with Creative Producing Director, Robbie Saenz de Viteri, and together gave itself the challenge to “bring dance where it doesn't belong” and has been striving to follow this self-imposed motto ever since. The company has performed in venues ranging from Upright Citizen's Brigade to The Sydney Opera House, and has been presented in more than 100 cities throughout the US and internationally.
