ABOUT ADC
ADC is a collaborative dance group that gives individuals the opportunity to learn and train with other artists in the Albuquerque area. The team has a successful history based in hard work, integrity, and artistry. ADC is the official competition team of New Mexico Ballet Company’s school and strives to provide dancers with the means to train and improve their artistry through competition in a safe and healthy environment.
Through ADC, dancers learn the value of hard work and dedication through a focus on cross-training in various styles and genres of movements. Dancers are required to take weekly ballet, jazz, team classes in addition to various other styles and rehearsals. ADC competes in at least 3 local competitions and conventions per season and travels out of state for a National Finals each summer. In addition to a rich history of success, ADC focuses on training individuals to not only be stellar dancers and artists, but also human beings.
ADC PROGRAMS
ADC is excited to offer two different track to better suit dancers needs:
Training Team
Designed to help dancers who are interested in competitive dance, but not quite ready for the full commitment. Training Team dancers are required to attend 4 classes per week and participate in at least 2 events during the season (travel not required).
Competitive Team
Competitive Team participation requires dancers to attend minimum of 7 classes per week in addition to rehearsals. Team members are expected to participate in all full team events for the season including out-of-state travel for convention and Nationals.
