Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company (DTSBDC), the premier modern dance company in our nation’s capital, presents an evening of mixed repertoire performances alongside live music. Works include "A Tribute to Maya Lin," "Transformations," and excerpts from "Seeds of Toil." DTSBDC has been described by the Washington Post as “not only a Washington prize, but a national dance treasure,” and named by the Washington City Paper’s 2023 reader poll the “Best Dance Company of DC.”

Since 2021, Hillwood has explored and expanded its programming in the world of dance. Marjorie Post was a lover of dance, both in her personal life and as a patron of the performing arts. This connection between Post, Hillwood, and dance inspires programs that give a platform to movement artists from the Washington, D.C. area. Following a movement piece inspired by 2021’s Rich Soil exhibition co-commissioned with Dance Place and performances by SOLE Defined and Gesel Mason, to and partnership with the Dance Institute of Washington, this performance by the Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company marks the fourth summer of dance programming in Hillwood’s gardens
