Founded in 1976, Dallas Black Dance Theatre has been a leader in contemporary modern dance for nearly 50 years. The ensemble consists of 14 professional, full-time dancers performing a mixed repertory of modern, jazz, ethnic and spiritual works by nationally and internationally known choreographers.

The company’s opening piece, “What to Say? Notes on Echo and Narcissus,” was called a “spellbinding aerial duet” by CultureMap (Dallas). The Boston Globe has said that the ensemble displays a “virtuosic style of contemporary movement.”

Dallas Black Dance Theatre is designated as an American Masterpiece Touring Artist by the National Endowment for the Arts and received the coveted Texas Cultural Trust’s Texas Medal of Arts Award.
