American College Dance Festival 2012
The Connecticut College dance department is thrilled to be hosting the American College Dance Festival Association's New England Conference, February 8-11, 2012 in New London, Conn.
Public welcome to Opening Night Concert, Final Gala
Registration for the conference is now closed. However, all are welcome to attend the opening night performance on Wednesday, February 8, and the Gala performance on Saturday, February 11, at 8 pm. Tickets are $10 and $5 for students & seniors. Please call the Palmer Auditorium Box Office at 860-439-ARTS for tickets.
We are planning an exciting celebration of dance in higher education with a wide variety of master classes, opportunities for student and faculty exchanges in and out of the studio, adjudication and informal concerts, feedback sessions and a gala concert.
The opportunity to receive feedback on choreography and performance is integral to every ACDFA conference. We will have three dynamic and highly respected adjudicators: Victoria Marks, Keith Hennessy and Darrell Jones. We are also honored to have Connecticut College alumnus and guest artist Nicholas Leichter, who will be performing in our opening night concert with our adjudicators on Wednesday, Feb. 8.
ACDFA values diversity and maintains a commitment to the development of conferences, which reflect and give value to the various forms, styles, cultural traditions and aesthetic dimensions of dance in performance. We encourage the attention to diversity through both informal and adjudicated concerts, master classes, panel discussions and/or lectures. The experience of taking master classes, viewing concerts, and listening to adjudicators' comments, as well as the energy exchange among dancers and faculty from other schools, has proven invaluable for our students, regardless of their levels of dance experience.
