Dawson|Wallace Dance Project

Dawson|Wallace Dance Project, formerly David Taylor Dance Theatre, was founded in 1979 by choreographer David Taylor and is Colorado’s original professional contemporary ballet company. DWDP is proud to have two outstanding artists as Artistic Directors. James Wallace of DTDT and Company C Contemporary Ballet has been lauded as a “daring and original dancemaker” (Marc Shulgold, Rocky Mountain News) and his choreography has been described as “vibrant, innovative and richly diverse – one of the brightest new choreographers on the horizon” (Glenn Giffen, The Denver Post). Gregory Dawson of Alonzo King’s Lines Ballet has choreographed award winning works throughout the United States to critical acclaim. DWDP continues to possess a distinguished record of performances in Colorado and the region showcasing a dramatic, original, and innovative repertoire that reaches 10,000+ people each year. DTDT has a 31-year history of increasingly diverse and dynamic productions. New works are introduced annually and DWDP’s acclaimed productions of Rainforest and The Nutcracker remain popular. In 1997, DTDT was the proud recipient of the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts and is considered one of Denver’s 25 largest cultural institutions. The Denver Post has lauded DTDT as “…the most intriguing of all Colorado dance companies…” David Taylor Dance Theatre has served as a roster artist for the regional Western States Arts Foundation Tour Guide, and locally with Young Audiences, the Colorado Council on the Arts “Artist-in-Residence” Program, Think360, the Crossover Project, ArtReach, Denver Ballet Guild, and the Colorado Artists’ Showcase. Our strong focus on children and families brings dance to audiences of all socio-economic situations while providing opportunities for exploring dance as a career.
