Students and faculty come to the ADF to share in the modern dance tradition of collaboration and creative exploration. The staff, faculty, and students are a diverse and eclectic group, ranging from students seeking an early artistic experience to those with an eye on the professional world. Full-time SWS students must attend for six weeks and will take three two-hour classes that meet on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.WFSS (pronounced “woofs”) are SWS classes that meet on Wednesdays, Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays. Learn more about WFSS.
The minimum age for application to the SWS is 16. Six Week School students under the age of 18 will live in a supervised dorm.
An essential component of the student experience during the summer is the opportunity to see some of the best modern dance companies performing today. Full-time Six Week School students will receive a complimentary ticket to one performance by each visiting company in the ADF performance series.
Check out the 2010 performances.
*Part-time SWS students may take one or two classes for the six weeks. Part-time students are given registration numbers along with full-time students and register for classes after all the other students. Part-time students are not eligible for ADF financial aid or complimentary tickets to ADF performances.
