*Location Update:
Due to reports of threats of violence near the National Mall on the day of the District Choreography (D.C.) Dance Festival, Dance Place has made the decision to shift the programming location of the festival to the Dance Place 8th St. Arts Park. This decision was made to prioritize artist, staff, and audience safety.

We hope you will come out to join us at Dance Place for this event, but please take care when navigating the city, especially if you plan to use public transportation that runs through the downtown area. Any questions, please email us at ideas@danceplace.org
