Dance in America: Wolf Trap's Face of America
Face of America, an initiative of the non-profit Wolf Trap Foundation, celebrates the diversity of America's cultural and natural landscapes by commissioning new works by the country's top choreographers and musicians, with the ultimate goal of fostering a commitment to preserve our national parks.
