We Are A Non-Profit 501(c)3 Organization that bridges the arts and community through multidisciplinary dance performances, community engagement programs, and arts education programs for youth.
Our vision is to contribute to a more beautiful and equitable world by cultivating accessibility to, participation in, and appreciation of the arts by bringing together diverse people of all ages and abilities.
ARTSPLUS: As an Austin ISD approved vendor, AADT created, directed and has taught this
TEKS aligned, arts-in-education program since 1995. This program was founded at K-12 Title 1 schools, where at least 40% of the student population are from low-income households. We offer opportunities for students to advance academic learning, critical thinking, and innovative problem solving through creative movement and music.
Community Voices Workshops: Since 2006, we have offered a safe space to connect, move, engage in meaningful dialogues, and create something together. Our innovative movement-based activities are for all physical abilities or experience.
Performances: Over the last 34 years, AADT has presented bold and energetic performances that celebrate the human spirit and ask timely questions, recently at the Carver Cultural Center, Mexican American Cultural Center, Draylen Mason Studio at KMFA, and the Long Center Rollins Theater.

“Andrea is wonderful at bringing together a group of strangers to express, explore and connect to each other. I learned to discover my creativity, and that my ideas are worthy. This was a wonderful experience.”
