Our mission is to create extraordinary experiences in contemporary ballet with live music. As Washington D.C.’s premiere contemporary ballet company, we bring together soloist-level professional ballet dancers during their lay-off periods from major professional companies with our string quartet and other D.C.-based guest musicians.

Award-winning choreographer Diane Coburn Bruning founded Chamber Dance Project upon her commitment to work by artists of our time, with her conviction that dance should be a collaboration between dancers and musicians, believing that performances in smaller venues heightens the experience, and that sharing the creative process with audiences deepens their experience in witnessing live performances.
