SYDC History

Spinning Yarns Dance Collective was founded by Susan Donham and Apryl Renee in 1998 as a modern dance company exploring fundamental human themes through movement, metaphor, and story. The company has performed in showcases throughout the Bay Area, as well as the WestWave Dance Festival, Collaboration:  Music and Dance, and the Goose Route Dance Festival in West Virginia. Donham’s choreography combines release and traditional modern techniques, interweaving a love of dance and storytelling.  She received her M.A. in dance from American University in 1994. In addition to her choreographic work, Donham has performed for Eclipse Dance Theater, Khadra International Dance Theater, and Right Brain Performancelab.
