A Little History...
On January 8th
2006, the Arizona Dance Arts Alliance (ADAA) Board of Directors reconfirmed by
a unanimous vote to split into two separate organizations - the Arizona Dance
Coalition (ADC) and the Arizona Dance Education Organization (AzDEO). The purpose for dividing into two entities
was to give a better focus to the performing dance community and the dance
education community.
ADC is a new web based membership organization that serves
as a resource center and directory for dance in Arizona, providing ways for dancers and the
general public throughout the state to stay connected and informed about dance. The ADC website is still a work in progress, so please continue to visit and see whats new!
AzDEO retained its affiliation with the National Dance
Education Organization and continues its mission of dance education centered in
the arts. Professional development and student enrichment programs such as
Dance Rejuvenation, the Pink Tu Tu Flu, the Arizona High School Dance Festival
and the sponsorship of the National Dance Art Honor Society continues to be
organized and sponsored by AzDEO. For more information about AzDEO go to www.azdeo.org.
These two new organizations look forward to maintaining strong ties with
each other and collaborating on projects that benefit all of dance in Arizona.
