For more than 30 years, the Lakota Sioux Indian Dance Theatre has carried on the powerful tradition of dance and song in Plains Indian Society. Founded in 1978, the Lakota Sioux Dance Theatre began with the support of traditional Lakota educators, powwow dancers, singers, and storytellers. Featuring some of the Sioux Nation’s most acclaimed performers, the troupe is now under the direction of noted choreographer Henry Smith. In their presentation at DCA, Come to the Center, this acclaimed ensemble presents the story of the birth, death, and rebirth of a nation. The New York Times hailed their performance as “a visual treat…a ritual celebration that made dancing a ceremonial act.”.
