Unique in its concept, the ADC has received Congressional Recognition Awards for the Performing Arts and numerous artistic honors from the Illinois Arts Council and Office of the Governor of Illinois. ADC directors, Jack and Kathleen Villari have been recognized as "Outstanding Dance Educators of America" for their innovative program of studies, world-wide literary works, and original productions featuring international dancers including Bolshoi Ballet soloists.
The ADC was selected outstanding dance school of Illinois by the Young Americans National Invitational and the only school chosen to represent the state of Illinois at the International Dance Festival in Los Angeles 1995-2020. The ADC was invited to perform their own show at the '96 World Olympics in Atlanta and performed in the 2012 Orange Bowl Half-Time Show in Miami.
ADC dancers have consistently received the over-all, "Best of Show" awards at regional dance competitions. You shop and ADC earns! Thank You for your support. There is never any pressure to be perfect, but simply to love dance & keep doing your best, which is why I have continued to take classes here well into my 30's!
