Patch Superstars

is a Peninsula-based contemporary dance company in its sixth season. The
primary mission of the Company is to use the abstract medium of physical
movement to tell stories that are accessible to audiences from a
variety of backgrounds. Accessibility is achieved through Dog
Patch Superstars' choreographic lexicon, which combines everyday
motions with high intensity athleticism and a fusion of ballet, modern,
and jazz techniques.
Artistic Director Lily
Wang graduated from Stanford University in 1992 with an MA
in Dance Education. She is a Guest Choreographer
at Foothill and Cuesta Colleges.
She enjoys making dances and camping. In her spare time, she
