Diplomats of Dance
By • September 11, 2014 0 1717
Avid supporters of dance flocked to the Sofitel Hotel for the Diplomats of Dance Society’s “inaugural soiree” in support of D.C.’s Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company and its upcoming tour to Suriname with the U.S. State Department. Ambassador Subhas Mungra of Suriname was an honored guest. The Diplomats of Dance Society foresees an annual event around the dance company’s touring because “Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company brings a much needed cross-cultural perspective to the arts scene.” Burgess was recently named the first Smithsonian choreographer-in-residence at the National Portrait Gallery and will begin a residency at the Kreeger Museum, as well as a partnership with NASA, in 2015.
