El Salvador ’s first professional company, TDC, combines its powerful and passionate Latin American repertory with some of this country's most outstanding ethnic international choreography. As proven by overwhelming critical acclaim, sold-out performances since its inception, and the public's emotional response to the Company, TDC shares something distinctive, fresh and special with its audiences.

“...With compelling simplicity and freshness, directness in dancing, powerfully in the moment, body and spirit filled and moved by the dance and music alone, rich with nuance and physical inflection, physically sumptuous...”
- New York Times , New York-

TDC was originally created in San Salvador in 1994 by Founder/Director, Miya Hisaka Silva and Associate, Francisco Castillo. TDC is distinctive because it is the first professional dance company in the history of the country, and because its objectives go beyond performance. The institution originally united artistic leaders with a common vision and aesthetic for dance, as well as a common vision for the reconstruction of their country after a 12-year civil war. Because of this unique history, TDC uses dance as a tool to preserve this history; as a means for self-expression, healing and the development of human dignity. TDC has been presented by The Kennedy Center, The Smithsonian Institution, Dance Place, Tribeca Center/NYC, The Central American Olympics, University of UNAM/Mexico City, University of Central America, Santa Clara University, University of San Francisco, among others. TDC has become internationally recognized for their accessible, powerful, passionate and elegant repertory reflecting a distinctive Central American aesthetic with an expressive and exuberant style. The Company’s repertory reflects through dance the human spirit, with the hopes to inspire in people the ability to dream! "Infused by the passion of living, the Company gives soulful meaning to the term expression dance." (Washington Post) "With compelling simplicity, freshness, directness in dancing, powerfully in the moment...physically sumptuous..." (New York Times).
