It’s been 30 years since Dana Tai Soon Burgess started his modern dance company in the nation’s capital. From the very beginning, the repertory focused on identity in the context of historical events and personal stories, thereby bridging cultures and connecting shared human experiences.

The special evening will be overseen by Congressman Jamie Raskin who proudly represents Maryland’s 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
