PUBLISHING

At ADTC, we combine high-level dance instruction with a unique and memorable summer camp experience. Our main goal is to further the development of each camper as a dancer and a person. Our outstanding dance program and wide variety of recreational activities allow campers to stay fit, build lasting friendships and gain self confidence through their accomplishments both inside and outside of the dance environment.

Brief History of ADTC

The American School of Dance (dba: American Dance Training Camp) was founded as a Fairfield County, CT dance school in 2002 by recent college graduate, Lindsey Fadner. Lindsey believed a summer dance camp near her family's ski condo in Stratton Mountain, VT might be a fun idea and that summer "ADTC" held 3 weeks of camp. Nearly 100 dancers from the Fairfield County area attended, most of whom danced at the American School of Dance during the year.

Just two years later ADTC in Stratton Mountain offered five sessions to more than 250 campers from all over the country. In addition, 2006 marked the year that ADTC expanded west to Squaw Valley, CA, offering three sessions to over 100 campers.

2007 was another exciting year for ADTC. Not only did we offer 14 sessions and sell more than 750 camper weeks, but the Stratton and Squaw camps continued to expand and we introduced two new ADTC locations: Nantahala Village, NC and Winter Park, CO!

ADTC's Overall Goal

The overall goal of American Dance Training Camp is to operate a FUN, engaging program while fostering the physical and emotional well-being of our participants. We promote development of character and self-esteem, celebrate diversity and nurture a love for dance. In order to accomplish these goals, we seek to provide well-trained, driven and quality staff, a progressive program with age-appropriate skills and challenges, and an appropriate facility adequate to support the program, all operated in a manner that is financially responsible to the association as a whole.
