Administrative History
Much of AADP dance expression grew from the roots of classic and traditional dance to develop greater inclusion in the mainstream
forms of ballet and modern dance. A new era of multicultural activity re-examines the radical roots of tradition, including
contemporary artists developing fusion forms, and challenging the boundaries of diversity that thrive within the
Asian
American
landscape.
