About DAM
What do a X-factor finalist, a world renowned poet, a NAACP Image Award Nominee, and a Janet Jackson dancer all have in common? They have all graced the stage at a DAM event. Now in its seventh year, the event is a major draw for inspiring creators and performers who are deeply committed to giving raw, untapped Bay Area talent a place to grow.
Stacked with hand-picked talent of all ages, this year's event promises to be as bold and inspiring as those of the past, which have included appearances by Ellona Santiago (“X-Factor”), Kida Burns (“So You Think You Can Dance”), Ellen Kim (Beyoncé, Justin Bieber), Prentice Powell and D’Dra White (“Verses and Flow”), and Ysabelle Capitule (Bruno Mars). Performers as young as 7 will take the stage, as well as students from local schools and semi-professional artists.
It all goes down on Saturday June 17th. Though intended for a mature audience, DAMoakland is open to guests of all ages from 4-9pm. 21+ after 9pm
