OUR MISSION -
To cultivate an inclusive and loving community of expressive and coachable humans by mentoring them within the discipline and ingenuity of the arts. We strive to create a family that supports each other through successes and learning opportunities. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. We need empathy to understand, support and celebrate our peers i
n their successes and learning opportunities. Ambition is a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. Arts training takes commitment to the craft in order to master each skill. It is a special moment to witness a performer come alive when they land their first aerial or say their first line onstage. Humility is the balance to our ambition. Humility is defined as the freedom of pride or arrogance. Finding ways to remain humble even after success is an important life skill for all. Discipline is an important life skill that is rooted in the Arts. Our students will take this skill into life beyond our walls. We train our performers etiquette in class, rehearsal, and on stage. Being on time, wearing proper dress code, and respecting props are just a few examples of discipline. Grit - at ADA we mentor courage and resolve; strength of character. in life we always face challenges, and how we choose to work through those challenges gives us the opportunity to train our resiliency muscle. "Through resourcefulness and grit, these performers survived months of online training"
