In the past five years, AD&M has implemented the essential components of its programming mission. Our educational and artistic programs are sensitive to the needs of our community, including our underserved youth and their families. These include: AD&M: The School AD&M: The School currently provides morning classes for adults in ballet and modern dance at the beginning through intermediate/advanced levels. Classes are taught by AD&M founder Carrie Diamond and Susan Alexander, some to live musical accompaniment. At present, we look forward to acquiring a suitable space in which to expand our adult class schedule. Find Out More...
