America’s Oldest Dance Troupe Cancels Kennedy Center Performance
The Martha Graham Dance Company, America’s oldest dance troupe, has canceled its scheduled performance at the Kennedy Center in April 2026. This show was part of the troupe’s nationwide centennial tour. Although no official reason was provided for the cancellation, the dance company expressed a desire to perform at the Kennedy Center in the future.
This decision follows the recent severance of ties between the Kennedy Center and the Washington National Orchestra. Additionally, since Donald Trump’s leadership at the Kennedy Center, over 20 performances have been canceled by various acts.
Impact of Cancellations on the Kennedy Center
The growing list of cancellations raises questions about the Kennedy Center’s current standing in the arts community. With the absence of notable performances, the center faces challenges in maintaining its reputation as a premier cultural venue.
