DTSB&Co heads to Peru

Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Co. are off again to distant lands! This time they are headed to Peru. The first stop will be the city of Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire sitting 11,000 ft above sea level in the Andes.

On June 9 the company will head to Lima to open the 21st International Festival of Dance at the North American Institute of Peruvian Culture in Lima. The company will perform the highly-acclaimed Hyphen and Chino Latino on June 10-12, 2009. The festival is one of the biggest celebrations of art and movement in Peru. This tour is supported by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the US State Department.

Follow along as the company teaches, performs and sightsees in the land of Inca warriors and Spanish conquistadors.

A truly great dance company once again on the road (and in the skies!) -- and what a treat for those in the audience...good luck. Looking forward to the reports.
