Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Co. 33rd Anniversary Performance

​In honor of Asian American Heritage Month, Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company (DTSBDC) triumphantly returns to Woolly Mammoth with their signature grace in storytelling. 

​Exploring  the inner emotional terrain of humanity,  the world-renowned Company presents beloved pieces from their 33-year history repertoire with a special emphasis on the Asian American experience. The Company will perform the world premiere of “Drawing in Space” – a dance homage to the inveterate artist, Ruth Asawa. Ruth was an American modernist artist known for her abstract looped-wire sculptures, drawings, and prints inspired by nature, particularly flowers and plants.

​The Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company creates and performs modern dances that explore diverse perspectives, histories, and traditions.  The result is a  shared audience understanding and empathy that attest to the transformative power of dance.  It’s why the Company has been hailed by The Washington Post as “Not only a Washington prize, but a national dance treasure” and has been voted “Best Dance Company in DC” by Washington City Paper readers in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
