The Washington Post has called the Annual Choreographers’ Showcase “a rite of passage in the DC area dance community.” In its 31-year history, it has given audiences a sneak peek at the work of numerous artists who go on to become mainstays of the DC dance scene.

Presented in collaboration with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, the showcase features six to seven distinct choreographic works in a range of styles each year including modern dance, contemporary ballet, aerial choreography, world dance, hip-hop and more. Performers are chosen through a rigorous adjudication process and each program offers a unique combination of genres and visions — truly a feast of the unexpected.
