I arrived at Woolly Mammoth Theater (641 D St. NW for future reference) in the nick of time for their inaugural residency, Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company presents three signature works for audiences to simmer: Leaving Pusan, Becoming American and Hyphen. I am proud that I was a student of Burgess while studying at The Washington School of Ballet. My family have long been fans of Burgess, noting the company’s commitment to crafting refined dances informed by a keenly observant cultural lens.
