We focus on innovation, constantly creating new works, and reprising works of merit. Many of our works can be itemized to create evenings of many different themes. In addition, the company presents longer works that stand as sole presentations. Learn more about our repertoire below.

” I believe that dance has to be flexible and must-have range to reach a varied audience. At DDT, we believe in storytelling, and story is not bound by style only.”
