The PEGGY CHOY DANCE COMPANY embodies intercultural fusion that springs from the re-ciphering of cultural roots. The Washington Post says that Choy's works "...juxtapose the contemporary and the timeless." Asian movement and martial arts are positioned in a global landscape, juxtaposing a diversity of forms from Javanese dance, to Korean court dance, from urban street dance, to American boxing.
