It is rare to have the opportunity for a color, high quality ad that runs the length of an international festival. It's a no-brainer.

This is why the UNCSA has advertised with the ADF for twenty years. Ethan Stiefel Dean, School of Dance University of North Carolina School of the Arts

What brings people to the ADF?

Audiences in North Carolina have seen many important companies long before they have appeared in New York City. It could even be argued that anyone who wants to know what is going on in the contemporary dance world should spend a summer in Durham.
