In addition to our core classes, ADF offers special masterclasses throughout the year to give dancers the chance to explore new styles and challenge themselves. Masterclasses include advanced sessions in ballroom, open, hip hop, street, and contemporary fusion, led by experienced instructors and guest professionals. These classes are designed to expand technique, creativity, and performance skills, giving dancers opportunities to experience styles they might not usually encounter.
Through workshops, mentorship, collaborative choreography, and community performances, ADF provides a supportive space for dancers to gain stage experience and high-quality training. Our goal is to build a strong, diverse dance community in Miami, where every dancer can develop technique, confidence, artistry, and leadership in an environment that values excellence, inclusivity, and equal opportunity.
