Arizona Dance Theatre is a school for the multidisciplinary arts, specifically dance. The school offers three types of training programs. First, traditional jazz, ballet and tap technique classes for those who wish to learn the fundamentals of dance. Students are encouraged to perform but not required. Second, the school’s trademark, a theatrical dance program designed for company members and students who wish to perform in our musical theatre season performances. This program includes jazz, ballet, tap, musical theatre, drama and company class.

Arizona Dance Theatre also offers classes in creative movement, lyrical, pointe, hip-hop, flamenco and karate. The strength of ADT lies in the commitment to teach the fundamentals and techniques of dance according to each student's stage of development and personal goals. Communicating the language of dance by recognizing individual needs is ADT's philosophy for success.

Arizona Dance Theatre provides outstanding specialized instruction in all dance styles. Technique classes, the foundation for learning how to dance, are sequentially designed to take you from beginning through professional levels. This program prepares students for performance groups and company participation. Our outstanding professional instruction will provide the skills needed to meet each student's goals, whether it is dancing for fun, performing, competing or planning a career.
