Tracy Allen Rhoades

Monterey area native and prize-winning dancer and choreographer, Tracy Allen Rhoades performed throughout the United States and Europe before dancing with the Della Davidson Dance Company and his own company, Exploding Roses, in San Francisco. His most memorable piece, Requiem (1989), created as an elegy for his deceased lover, Jim Poche, embodied the AIDS-related grief of the Bay Area dance community.
