Wondering About our Name Change?
After nearly two decades as American Dance Legacy Institute, we are still ADLI, but with a new "I"... We chose to change to Initiative because we feel it more accurately reflects the spirit of how ADLI operates. An initiative galvanizes individuals to come together around a cause in order to shift paradigms; fosters dynamic adaptability; supports grassroots activities; and provides an atmosphere for inventing new materials and innovating new methodologies.

Wondering What We Do and
What a Repertory EtudeTM is?
ADLI produces innovative materials and programs designed to engage artists, educators, and the general public with participatory viewing and dancing experiences. Our activities include:
- developing and sharing the Repertory EtudesTM Collection
- offering residencies that build literacy, investigate authenticity, and nurture an individual relationship to dance
- providing professional development for practitioners in dance, arts, and cultural heritage
- producing events designed to engage participants with multiple points of entry
Repertory EtudesTM
Repertory EtudesTM are short dances based on signature works of American choreographers, available to the public with unprecedented access for study, viewing, and performance.Now, just as anyone can study and perform music from Bach to Duke Ellington or theatre from Shakespeare to Tennessee Williams, ADLI grants access to dance works by historical and contemporary choreographers on an ongoing and intimate basis.

A revolutionary concept in the field of dance, these challenging studies stand on their own as concert pieces and also as rich tools for improving dance technique and performance skills. They provide any individual, particularly an educator, with usable source material for lifelong learning about dance. Repertory EtudesTM offer the opportunity to explore, discuss, and appreciate American dance’s personal and cultural relevance.

PERSPECTIVES IN DANCE
recently on view
Granoff Center - Providence, RI
Dance encompasses much more than the fleeting experience of performance. For the Perspectives in Dance exhibition, ADLI partnered with collaborators from the Brown University and Rhode Island communities to present dance works through media and formats that give an experience beyond what happens on the stage. Each installation showcases how dance offers unique moments of exchange and connection that foster creative exploration of personal and community identities.
