The Philadelphia Dance Company (PHILADANCO! for short) has been successfully touring the world for more than half a century. Founded in 1970 as one of the first American all-black dance companies, PHILADANCO! set dance and social standards. The declared goal of the Philadelphia Dance Company is to produce dance performances at the highest level and to promote established and up-and-coming dancers and choreographers. Throughout the world, PHILADANCO! stands for innovation and creativity, but also for the preservation of African-American dance traditions. Founder and (to this day) artistic director Joan Myers Brown has received a number of awards for her decades-long commitment (including for the artistic equality of African-American dancers), including the Medal of Arts - the highest American award for artistic achievement - personally presented by President Barack Obama in 2012.
