Testimonials

Anais Black Swan

“I look forward each summer to teaching ACD dancers. Their commitment to clean technique and artistic integrity make them a pleasure to work with.”

-Anais Chalendard, Former Principal Dancer Boston Ballet

Stephanie Rae Williams

“I love working with ACD dancers. It’s amazing to watch their growth as artists: they are so receptive, even when they are challenged to work outside of their comfort zone. It’s such a pleasure to be with dancers who are all so passionate, committed and just plain happy to be in the dance studio.”

-Stephanie Rae Williams, Dance Theater of Harlem
