ADF's programs are developed based on its mission to: encourage and support the creation and presentation of new modern dance works by both emerging and established choreographers, and professionals in dance-related fields; to preserve our modern dance heritage through continued presentation of classic works as well as through archival efforts; to build wider national and international audiences for modern dance; to enhance public understanding and appreciation of the art form and its cultural and historical significance; to provide a sound scientific and aesthetic base for professional training and education of young dancers; and to maintain a forum for integrating and disseminating information on dance and dance education.
