ATD Ensemble

Beginning in Fall 2026, All That Dance will be launching a brand-new program: ATD Ensemble — a collaborative, choreography-centered experience for dancers ages 10–18.

For many years, ATD Company has provided advanced dancers with rich artistic opportunities. ATD Ensemble is designed to build a meaningful new tier of programming for younger and intermediate dancers who are ready for deeper creative work, additional performance experience, and a strong sense of community.

ATD Ensemble will meet on Saturdays 2:30-4:30. The program will run as a class through regular tuition with a semester commitment and a spring performance fee.

What Ensemble Offers

Fall Semester (Sept–Dec):
Dancers will explore multiple styles of choreography, participate in guided composition exercises, and collaborate in small groups. The fall will culminate in an informal in-studio sharing where dancers perform their work in simple, closet-pulled costumes.

Spring Semester (Jan–June):
The focus turns toward producing fully realized, student-driven choreography. These pieces will be performed in the ATD recital and will be connected by a unifying theme chosen for that year. Dancers will also rehearse one full-group Ensemble piece each semester.

Who Is Eligible

Ensemble is open to dancers ages 10–18 who have:

• At least three years of ATD experience (any genre)

• Enrollment at ATD during both fall and spring

• Completion of the ATD Ensemble fall semester before registering for spring

• Active enrollment in at least one other ATD class — Ensemble may not be taken as a stand-alone class.

• Possess a  positive attitude, willingness to collaborate, and readiness to work in a multi-age group.
