We believe the arts
boost local economies
serve public needs
support student achievement

The ADC promotes the study, creation, performance and enjoyment of dance in all forms. Interwoven with this work is advocacy. Advocacy efforts involve encouraging and supporting local, state, and federal policies that advance dance and other arts activities; developing networks with arts and education associations, businesses, corporations, and philanthropic foundations; and providing resources for our members to use in their own advocacy efforts.
