Choreographer's Clinic

ADC believes in art and developing the artist in each child. We give students the opportunity not just to learn dance technique, but to develop their own voice and choreography. Students will complete exercises that prepare them for creating dance works that express their own unique ideas and artistry.

The Dance Academy offers weekly class for its participants, and helps individuals with Down syndrome work on muscle tone, balance and coordination. Classes also increase opportunities for social interaction and promote awareness about the benefits of dance for all people -- regardless of their abilities or disabilities.

Teacher Training

Teacher Training Program

The teacher training program is for youth who are interested in learning more about dance education. Students will spend time observing and assisting in dance classes, completing projects, and reflecting with their peers. Students will learn class organization, choreography planning, classroom management, and be prepared with leadership skills that will serve them in any career in the future.
