With soaring rents in San Francisco\u2019s Mission District continuing to impact numerous business and community institutions, Dance Mission Theater is now faced with the possibility of displacement.<\/p>\n

Rising rental costs for the 18-year-old feminist dance company, located at the corner of 24th and Mission streets, are worrying the organization\u2019s founders, who have attempted numerous times to buy the building from Robert Isackson, president of Village Properties. Isackson, however, won\u2019t sell.<\/p>\n

Dance Mission Theater\u2019s lease for the building at 3316 24th St. expires July 1, at which time it is expected to renew another year-long contract, according to the theater\u2019s executive director and cofounder, Krissy Keefer.
\nUnder its current lease, Dance Mission Theater pays about $11,500 a month in rent. That cost could easily increase to $15,000 once the lease expires, according to Keefer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owners are not interested in selling as far as I know,\u201d said the building\u2019s property manager Chris Phipps. \u201cIt\u2019s a building they want to keep for its value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dance Mission Theater is one of more than 6,000 nonprofits across the city competing with the tech industry for commercial space, according to a 2013 report on nonprofit displacement by the City and County of San Francisco.<\/p>\n

In May 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved $4.5 million in funds ($2.5 million from the Mayor\u2019s Office of Housing and Community Development and $2 million from the San Francisco Arts Commission) to help nonprofit organizations grappling with rising commercial rents.<\/p>\n

The 2013 report, which was put together by various government and community organizations, included multiple solutions to help struggling organizations, but stated that commercial rent control was impossible without first amending state law that prohibits the option.<\/p>\n

\u201c[We] are unfortunately one of the many organizations\/residents struggling with rent increases,\u201d Keefer wrote in a statement released last December.<\/p>\n

A community institution<\/strong>
\nAbout 400 youth and 2,000 adults are enrolled in Dance Mission programs and the performances attract up to 18,000 audience members each year. The venue provides a wide range of dance classes, including reggaeton fusion, Cuban folkloric and Afro-Haitian. The venue is also home to the Dance Brigade, a dance troupe company that teaches young girls leadership to develop social change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a long history of being a strong feminist and women-identified space,\u201d said Keefer, who emphasized the importance of ensuring a multicultural and feminist learning environment at Dance Mission Theater. \u201cWe create a space that is pro-female.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dancer Maria Cortez, 13, has grown up at the theater. She was 8 when she transferred from what she describes as an exclusive ballet studio in the Presidio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was too much pressure on being perfect and being skinny,\u201d Cortez said. \u201cThen I came here and it wasn\u2019t so stressful. I feel really loved and cared for here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Buena Vista Horace Mann Elementary student said she\u2019s been able to develop a social consciousness that she would not otherwise have obtained.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust being here is feminist because I\u2019ve learned how to embrace being a girl and deal with the struggles of being a girl,\u201d Cortez said. \u201cPeople here have grown up with so much awareness and self-love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cortez has danced in various performances that highlight issues of rape, domestic violence and child abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t transplant this,\u201d said Maria\u2019s mother, Beth, who works with the organization. \u201cPeople come here from all over the Bay Area.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Beth, 25 percent of the students attending Dance Mission have full or partial scholarships. \u201cThe classes are overflowing and that says [Dance Mission] fulfills a need for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Keefer first started renting the building in 1998 for $7,800 a month, she obtained a five-year lease that continued to be renewed until the owners changed the contract to yearly leases with increasing rents.<\/p>\n

Rent prices have impacted the affordability of classes and rentals Keefer said, noting that the cost for dance classes has increased from $12 to $14. Dancers also used to be able to rent rehearsal space for $12 an hour, and now have to pay $15.<\/p>\n

Dance Mission has three dance studios and a 140-seat black box theater, which anyone can rent for below-market rates.<\/p>\n

Moving forward<\/strong>
\nFor services to remain affordable and for the theater to remain accessible to the community, Keefer said the location must be preserved.<\/p>\n

Dance Mission Theater is hoping to raise $30,000 during its upcoming fundraiser on April 9, a dance-a-thon and silent auction that will engage youth and parents. Admission is $15 per person or $20 for two. Items donated to the silent auction so far include free vacation stays, acupuncture appointments, jewelry and paintings, according to Keefer.<\/p>\n

She said Dance Mission Theater has hosted several other fundraisers in the past to cover rent costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can do it for a while,\u201d she said, but added that she is unsure of what staff will do if and when fundraising can no longer pay for the space.<\/p>\n

Keefer and others are currently working with the Northern California Loan Fund to facilitate a long-term lease contract with the landlord or to relocate to a nearby building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is emblematic of what is happening to the culture of the Mission,\u201d said Beth. \u201cThere\u2019s intense pressure for people to move because they can\u2019t afford to live here and it\u2019s similar for nonprofits. Instead of doing community work, the effort is going into fundraising and trying to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cortez, who was born and raised in the Mission, said she and other dancers have gotten to know their neighbors well as they often frequent Caf\u00e9 La Boh\u00e9me next door and other nearby shops for snacks before rehearsal.<\/p>\n

\u201cDance Mission connects the neighborhood. You can hear the Taiko drums playing from the outside,\u201d Cortez said. \u201cWithout all this, the neighborhood would feel empty.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
