SBMA has shown original works at nationally and internationally acclaimed events such as Summer Dance Forever (NL), RADFest (MI), XFest (IL), Kun -Yang Lin/Dancers Inhale Performance Series (PA), and The San Francisco International Dance Festival (CA), among others. They have held choreographic residencies at Franklin & Marshall College (2021), Georgian Court University (2022), and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (2025). Snack Break seeks to pay homage to the integrity of African-American vernacular dance while also challenging the way audiences consume street dance through the utilization of theatrics, the concert stage, interdisciplinary collaborations, and contemporary movement practices. They aim to weave threads of connection through the power of storytelling.
