For more than fifty-six years, PHILADANCO! has stood among the most influential forces in American concert dance — producing generations of technically extraordinary artists while preserving and advancing the traditions of Black American concert dance at the highest level.
This July, the internationally celebrated company returns to The Joyce Theater fresh off a three-week European tour, bringing New York a program that honors its legacy while pushing boldly into the future.
Four distinctive voices. One unforgettable week.
The engagement features two New York premieres — Thang Dao‘s striking Without Witness and Tommie-Waheed Evans‘ emotionally charged Promise Me You Won’t Call — alongside a major new creation from Rennie Harris, set to the unmistakable sound of Philadelphia International Records.
By popular demand, the run also marks the 25th anniversary revival of Christopher Huggins‘ Enemy Behind the Gates, an epic tour de force that has endured across generations and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
Whether you’ve followed PHILADANCO! since Joan Myers Brown founded the company in 1970, or you’re discovering their unmatched technique for the first time, this is a rare convergence of choreographic talent you won’t want to miss — a portrait of a company that continues to set the standard for artistic excellence and cultural impact.
