Now in its thirtieth season, Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company (DTSBDC) is the preeminent modern dance company of Washington, DC. The company has served as a U.S. State Department cultural envoy and has toured to five continents and over thirty countries. “This artist is—not only a Washington prize, but a national dance treasure…” —The Washington Post.
