TheDresden Frankfurt Dance Company is acontemporary danceensemble of eighteen dancers based inDresden andFrankfurt, Germany.

It was founded in 2005 asThe Forsythe Company^[1] by American choreographerWilliam Forsythe following the closure of the Frankfurt Ballet (German:Ballett Frankfurt), established in 1963. The ensemble further pursues the creative work carried out by Forsythe for 20 years with the Frankfurt Ballet, including producing works in the areas of performance, installation, film, and educational media, and drew most of its dancers from the prior company.^[2]

The company is supported by apublic–private partnership including the German states ofSaxony andHesse, the cities ofDresden andFrankfurt, andprivate sponsors. It is in residence at both theFestspielhaus Hellerau in Dresden and theBockenheimer Depot in Frankfurt.

In 2015, the creative directorship was taken over by the Italian dancer and choreographerJacopo Godani, upon which the company took its present name.^[3]
