‘Tis a season for celebrating significant milestones in dance, including an amazing honor for one of the most revered names ever to be associated with the art form. The Martha Graham Dance Company, appearing in 2026 at the Kennedy Center, will be marking its 100th year sharing founder Graham’s singular vision of movement.
The company’s major anniversary, along with many others over the 2025-26 season, offers sweet reassurance that dance is forever and shall remain. Meanwhile, a full menu of new works on tap represents what keeps dance moving forward.
Audiences can relish revisiting beloved perennials, like some of the most exciting Nutcrackers you’ll find anywhere, and catch up with companies who’ve been doing this for decades — from Mark Morris Dance Group and Pilobolus, visiting twice this season, to the Washington Ballet.
Or, bring your journey full circle and introduce yourself to emerging and fresh talents. Drink in the creativity of the artists gracing the Latinx Movement Festival, or queer storytellers BigKid Dance, or the Textures Dance Theater, making its company debut at the Publick Playhouse. Support those legs that hopefully will carry dance into the next 100 years.
