Check out what some our students had to say about their pre-professional program experience

"Attending Artistic Dance Conservatory not only helped me grow as a dancer, but as a person, student, and leader. ADC and their incredible faculty helped me establish a foundation for my career and pushed me to be the best that I could possibly be. Every day I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to dance at ADC because they have prepared me for my career more than I could have ever imagined.  ADC supported me no matter what I wanted to do, and because of that, I just graduated from my dream school, NYU, with 2 majors in only 3 years"
- Oriana Siphanoum - NYU Tisch 2020 -AdC 2017

“ADC is my dance education foundation.  In preparing for college I was equipped with language, etiquette, and versatility from across the spectrum.  That is what set me apart for most young adults entering a BFA program.  ADC nurtured my drive and creativity to become a dance master.  Dancers are unique and exceptional beings that carry with them, a limitless perception of the world.  For me, that perception was fostered and expressed with the guidance and love from ADC.”
-Michael Konderwicz  -University of the Arts 2010 grad and ADC alum 2006

I am incredibly grateful to have had Jenn as my mentor throughout my pre-professional training. Once I decided I wanted to dance professionally, Jenn developed a specialized, training program that included a variety of dance styles and skill development which included partnering, improvisation, voice and others. Her program allowed me to feel prepared for every college audition and professional audition following school.
She guided me through each step of the college dance major audition processes by helping me prepare my resume, photos, videos, and choreography. She has expansive knowledge and experience assisting dancers into the best dance programs in the US. When I was applying, she made suggestions that helped me narrow and focus my selections to the programs that were the best fit for my professional goals. I would not have trusted anyone else with my pre-professional training!

​Artistic Dance Conservatory  will forever be my second home, the place where I was not only able to grow as dancer but as a person. Between the welcoming students, supportive teachers, and creative learning environment ADC became my safe haven growing up.  I was able to express myself through the various styles of dance accompanied by a well rounded dance education. Through private lessons I was able received 1:1 training. This allowed me to focus on my technique, perform in the styles I loved, and also create a everlasting bond with the amazing teachers I learned from. I always felt the teachers at ADC set me up for success and pushed me when it was needed. I truly believe my experiences at ADC as made me the person I am today and will forever have a piece of my heart - Angelina Gonzalez- 2021 Wagner grad and 2017 ADC alum
