About Us

A catalyst for change, DCDC has redefined dance. It has increased awareness of the African-American experience, ethos, and cultural heritage.

A Born Leader

DCDC is ranked in the top 20 African-American arts and cultural organizations in the country. However, being one of America's first (and longest) thriving dance companies and educators is not the only way DCDC leads. Consider, for example:

- DCDC's dedication to breakthrough creative
- DCDC's focus on financial stability and board involvement
- DCDC's openness to new ideas—including streamed content and education media
- DCDC's minority- and women-led teams
- DCDC's recognition internally as one of the premier African-American contemporary dance organizations
- DCDC's prudent use of all resources focused on creating amazing experiences for our audiences
- DCDC's creation of a steady stream of internationally recognized dancers and choreographers
