Alberta Dance Theatre (ADT) is a non-profit, charitable non-competitive performing company for youth based in Moh’kinsstis, also known as Calgary. ADT provides an outstanding and unique program to dancers in grades 1-12 in Calgary through an intense 12-week program where dancers engage in a creative process alongside professional dance and theatre artists. Dancers not only learn to create choreography, tell stories, and gain performance training from their mentors but also develop skills such as creative problem solving, healthy risk taking,collaboration, and leadership.

 

Rehearsals culminate in an annual show where the choreography, script, originally composed music, and lighting design are all specifically crafted for the production. ADT youth artists engage in a busy show week in a professional theatre. The inspiration for each show comes from a piece of children's literature. 

​

Alberta Dance Theatre welcomes contract employees and dancers from all backgrounds and dance experiences. We cherish our differences and allow space for questions and exploration. We value our tight knit community of dancer's and their families. Contribution, connection and personal growth remain vital tenants of every season at every level of our organization.
