Presidio Dance Theatre receives the Ambassador's Award for Cultural Diplomacy


After arriving in Budapest, Hungary for Presidio Dance Theatre's 3rd International Tour, PDT has been presented with the Ambassador's Award for Cultural Diplomacy for Excellence in Dance. It is part of PDT's mission to bring the traditions and cultures around the world with them and share them through the medium of dance.

In furtherance of this mission, PDT has been invited to headline on stage at the Sziget Children's Festival in Budapest on Saturday June 23rd, 2012. Leading up to this performance, PDT'S Youth company has been welcomed to the private residence of the US Ambassador to Hungary to perform at a reception hosted by Her Excellency Ambassador Tsakopoulos Kounalakis.

This award is an honor and we are incredibly proud and humbled to receive it. We are excited for the opportunity to share the gift of dance with the members of the diplomatic mission to Hungary. We are also very honored for the opportunity to perform at the Sziget festival for an international audience from across Europe and around the world.
