Peggy Choy's unique dance alchemy is fueled by a fusion of Asian and Southeast Asian dance and martial arts, as well as American urban dance forms. Choy has created and performed a unique body of work reflecting Afro-Asian connections and women-centered stories since the mid-1990s. Her full-evening works have toured internationally from New York to Jakarta--including Seung Hwa/Compassion: Rape/Race/Rage/Revolution, Ki-Ache: Stories from the Belly, and Passage of Oracles--at venues in New York (Dance Theater Workshop, Danspace Project at St. Mark's Church, La MaMa Theater), in Washington, DC (Kennedy Center, Dance Place), in Hawai'i (Kennedy Theater), in Seoul, South Korea (Seoul Art Center), and in Jakarta, Indonesia (Utan Kayu).

Choy's fresh New York-based dance company burst upon the dance scene in 2010. The Smithsonian Institution (Washington, DC) presented the company in Power Moves: From Bruce Lee's Intercepting Fist to Hip-Hop and Beyond, and the company performed POW!, about Muhammad Ali and his daughter Laila Ali, appearing in the New York Dancing Divas/La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival in May 2011. The company performed THE GREATEST! Hip Afro-Asian Homage to Muhammad Ali to a standing ovation at New York's Dance New Amsterdam this past September 2011, with the full performance, THE GREATEST!, to premier at Baruch Performing Arts Center in New York in March 2012.

Another facet of Choy's unique dance vision is her recent Sea Solos, a series performed by Choy that turns a vivid look to the sea ecology and culture of the indigenous Korean diving women (haenyeo) of Jeju Island, Korea. With commissioned music by Matan Rubinstein, the dances are inspired by brilliant Los Angeles-based photo-journalist Brenda Paik Sunoo's new book, Moon Tides: Jeju Island Grannies of the Sea. The series toured to the Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles in July 2011, and to Berlin's Korean Cultural Center Berlin in October 2011.

Choy's awards include Danspace Project's Commissioning Initiative, NEA/Atlantic Center for the Arts fellowship, and Princeton and Cornell university commissions.

An Assistant Professor of Dance and Asian American Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Choy teaches courses in her areas of interest including Asian performance (Korean dance, Javanese dance theater, Chinese martial arts), Afro-Asian connections through the martial arts and hip-hop dance, and the unique position of Asian American performing arts in a fast-changing global context.
