Founded in 2005, BeijingDance/LDTX (Lei Dong Tian Xia, literally translated as Thunder Rumbles Under Heaven) is China’s first non-governmental and independent professional dance company. Under the artistic direction of China’s leading choreographer, Willy Tsao, this company of 14 technically exquisite dancers is recognized internationally for its integration of Chinese culture with influences from abroad. 

“The company doesn’t merely dance splendidly, it dances ferociously.”  —The Los Angeles Times
