New York - American Dance Festival

In July 1934, dance legends Martha Graham, Hanya Holm, Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman founded the Bennington School of Dance in Vermont to showcase American dance. In 1996, the ADF expanded its programs to include a series of classes and choreographic workshops in New York City. Since its founding 66 years ago, ADF has been the scene of over 480 premieres by artists such as Martha Graham, José Limón, Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Erick Hawkins, Alwin Nikolais, Alvin Ailey, Twyla Tharp, Pilobolus, Laura Dean, Meredith Monk, Martha Clarke, Mark Morris, Bill T. Jones, and Eiko & Koma, among countless others.
