Atlanta Dance Theatre's
30th Season!
Atlanta Dance Theatre is one of Atlanta's top performing dance companies! As a non-profit organization formed in 1981, ADT's goal is to offer performing opportunities to our dancers and to bring quality dance to the community. As an Honor Company Member of the Southeastern Regional Ballet Association (SERBA), a regional organization within Regional Dance America (RDA) Atlanta Dance Theatre maintains high profile performances under professional choreographers. ADT will present repertory works at this season's national RDA festival to be held in Toronto, Canada, in May of 2012.
Our 30th season is very special! Our holiday production, Babes In Toyland, for the holidays was a delight for audiences young and old as it has for 21 seasons! ADT's spring show (for March of 2012) will be a mix of bold and traditional...
the classic story of Rapunzel, recreated by choreographer Kristy Nilsson
along with
a contemporary love story set to the music of new recording artist, Annie-Rose
Remember Me (choreography by Casey Noblett and Robert Gosnell)
Annie-Rose will perform with ADT for both evening shows
ADT also performs at Atlanta festivals, including Jazz On Tap and Balletfest.
