Faculty & Musicians The best part of the summer was the teachers. They demonstrated such a mastery of the material, demanded all of our presence and awareness, and pushed us (lovingly) to demand the very best from ourselves. This kind of teaching is uncommon, it’s the kind of teaching that the American Dance Festival is famous for, and it’s the kind that I crave all school year. –Nicola Bullock, ADF Alumnus 2011 Teachers, Mentors, Inspiration The ADF is incredibly fortunate to have some of the most dedicated faculty and finest dance musicians in the country on its roster. Many of these artists have been coming to ADF over an extended period of time and bring their skills as teachers, artists, and dance and music makers to the rich and vibrant community that ADF fosters. Because they inspire us and contribute so much to the heart and soul of the festival, we invite you to read about them more thoroughly on the ADF website.
