Spectrum Dance Theater (SDT) was founded in 1982 to bring dance of the highest merit to a diverse audience composed of people from different social, cultural, ethnic and economic backgrounds. SDT’s principal objective is to make the art form of dance accessible through contemporary dance performances and high-quality dance training in a variety of dance styles.
Three organizational components comprise SDT: the professional Company, the School, and Community and Outreach programs. Under Donald Byrd’s visionary artistic leadership since 2002, the organization has embarked on an exhilarating transformation that has attracted world-class dancers, produced some of the most exhilarating works in contemporary dance, generating local and national attention. In addition to its Main Stage productions, SDT launched in February 2006 its STUDIO SERIES in its own Studio Theater on Lake Washington. The Company tours national and international performing the works of Artistic Director Donald Byrd.
