“Our company is over 50 years old with choreographic treasures that deserve to be maintained. Many of the works of Black choreographic geniuses are not documented or are negated just as is so much of our history. This season we are dedicated to preserving the rich history of these works by showing them to a new generation of dance lovers.”
– Joan Myers Brown, Founder and Executive Artistic Director of PHILADANCO!

– President Barack Obama
"The company is in peak form—dancer for dancer, probably the best-trained, certainly the most versatile, dance company in Philadelphia."
