Celebrating its 40th Anniversary Season, the Philadelphia Dance Company—lovingly referred to as Philadanco—was founded by the indomitable Joan Myers Brown, who has worked to ensure dancers of color receive equal opportunity to work in a professional company. Philadanco is known for its high-energy performances, skilled dancers and dedication for preserving African-American traditions in dance.
