Whether you’re a longtime supporter, a student stepping into our studios for the first time, or someone simply curious about the world of dance, we’re thrilled to have you here. This platform is designed to take you behind the scenes of ADT, share insights from our instructors and dancers, and celebrate the transformative power of dance.

Who We Are

Alabama Dance Theatre (ADT) has been a cornerstone of Montgomery’s arts community for decades. Founded on a commitment to artistic excellence and dance education, we provide students of all ages the opportunity to train in a supportive, professional environment. Our curriculum is rooted in classical ballet, but we also offer contemporary, jazz, and other dance styles to develop well-rounded artists.

At ADT, we believe that dance is more than just movement—it’s an art form that inspires discipline, creativity, and personal growth. Whether you dream of a professional career in dance or simply seek a place to express yourself, we welcome you to be part of our vibrant community.

Training at ADT

Our faculty is composed of experienced professionals dedicated to nurturing each dancer’s potential. From young beginners to advanced pre-professional students, our structured training program ensures that every dancer receives top-tier instruction tailored to their level. For those looking to take their dance journey to the next level, ADT’s company offers performance opportunities that challenge and inspire. As an Honor Company with Regional Dance America/Southeast, our dancers have the chance to participate in prestigious festivals, workshops, and masterclasses that broaden their artistic horizons.

Our Productions

One of the hallmarks of ADT is our dynamic performance season. Each year, we bring the magic of dance to the stage with beloved classics and original works. Our annual productions include a holiday production, a spring production, and a summer showcase at the conclusion of our Summer Intensive. These productions not only showcase the incredible talent of our dancers but also enrich the cultural landscape of Montgomery and beyond.

More Than Dance

While our focus is on dance education and performance, ADT is also deeply committed to fostering a sense of community. We believe in the power of the arts to bring people together, uplift spirits, and inspire change. Through outreach programs, scholarships, and partnerships, we strive to make dance accessible to all and to share its many benefits with as many people as possible.
