Every Person has the right and the ability to experience the joy of dance. AZDEO SUPPORT AND ADVANCE DANCE EDUCATION CENTERED IN THE ARTS. SUPPORTING DANCE EDUCATORS AND THEIR STUDENTS The mission of AzDEO is to promote, advance and advocate for dance education across the state of Arizona. On January 8, 2006, the Arizona Dance Arts Alliance (ADAA) Board of Directors made the monumental decision, by a unanimous vote, to split into two separate organizations – the Arizona Dance Education Organization (AzDEO), and the Arizona Dance Coalition (ADC). The purpose for dividing into two separate organizations was to give an improved focus to supporting and providing services to the performing and the education dance communities. AzDEO retained its affiliation with the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) and continues its mission of dance education centered in the arts. We provide professional development, networking, and student enrichment programs for dance educators and their students. ADC is a web-based membership organization whose website serves as a resource center for educational articles, monthly publications, calendar of events, classes, and auditions. It is also a directory of dance artists and venues in Arizona. Educational organizations, as well as youth centers, and public groups are invited to connect with our artists to present classes, lectures and performances to their participants. ADC also produces and sponsors dance festivals, guest artists for master classes, and regional meetings!
