The votes have all been tallied, and AXIS Dance Company has won Diablo Magazine’s “Best of the East Bay: Best Dance Troupe” award! AXIS wishes to extend a giant thank you to all those who voted…

Quoting diablomag.com:

First-time winner Axis Dance Company is no stranger to East Bay arts fans. Founded in 1987 and earning seven Isadora Duncan Dance Awards, Axis has been dazzling audiences with its unique mission of integrating dancers with disabilities. The artistry is stunning: a woman twirling, stretched horizontally on a tipped-over wheelchair; a man in a handstand on the back of an upright wheelchair; and lines and imagery that push the boundaries of contemporary dance. Axis is working with New York choreographer David Dorfman on a world-premiere piece to open in November — 1428 Alice St., Oakland, CA, (510) 625-0110, axisdance.org.
