Good Times is more than just a show—it's a celebration of dance, creativity, and community in the Bay Area. Hosted by The Company, a Bay Area-based dance team, this annual event brings together dancers, choreographers, and artists from all over the world to share the stage and create unforgettable memories.

This year holds extra significance as we celebrate 20 years of The Company. Founded in 2005 by Pat Cruz and Shaun Evaristo, The Company began as a tight-knit collective of artists—fueled by passion, purpose, and a deep love for dance. What started as a shared dream has grown into a world-renowned collective, guided by our motto, Never Settle, Always Forward. Over the years, we’ve continued to evolve—using dance not just as performance, but as a way to inspire, connect, and uplift the community that made us who we are.

Whether you're here to cheer on a friend or family member, discover new talent, or just feel the energy of the community, Good Times is where connection happens. Come experience a night of unforgettable performances, meaningful moments, and the spirit that continues to shape our story.

Over the years, our show has evolved, but our love for dance, art, and people has remained constant. Our show has become a home for not just other dance teams, but for crews, projects, artists, and audiences from all walks of life to come together and celebrate one another. 

We are committed to fostering a space that cultivates our values of genuine experiences and connections while providing a safe place for artists to continue to share their craft with our community and the world.

Our History:

Good Times, formerly known as UP, started in 2003 as a collaboration between WSPA’s (Westlake School for the Performing Arts) hip-hop team, Xplicit, and WSPA’s Polynesian department. The show’s initial intention was to bring a dance performance that both uplifted each of the departments and also offered a show that differentiated from WSPA’s annual recitals. In 2005, The Company was born and continued to collaborate for several years with the Polynesian program now called Te Orama under the leadership of Kumu Hula Anthony Waipa Manaois. UP, under the direction of The Company, became the community-based show we now know and love, while Te Orama hosts their annual luau and showcase of their own to this day.
