Heralded as “One of the nation’s most important institutions” (New York Times), the ADF’s sustained record of creative achievement is indivisible from the history of modern dance. Students and community members interact directly with luminaries in the field, learning first-hand from those who define modern dance. “The world’s greatest dance festival,” (New York Post) the ADF’s wide range of programs include: Education (Professional training for dancers, choreographers and teachers), Performances (A six and a half-week series of residencies and performances by major established companies as well as emerging artists from around the world), Awards (Giving status and importance to accomplished dance figures and to the profession itself), National and International Professional Services (Designed not only for dancers and choreographers but for audience education including special conferences, workshops, and projects), Community Services (Various public education programs that offer the breadth of the Festival’s resources to the community), and Humanities and Media Projects (Various projects that illustrate how modern dance serves as a special window on American history and culture).
