Dance Company

African American Dance Company preserves and promotes Black dance for 46 years and counting.

Since 1974, the African American Dance Company (AADC) has provided transformative artistic and academic experiences for hundreds of Indiana University students and alumni.

As we look forward to opportunities for students to perform, research, and travel post-pandemic, the AADC Student Organization is raising funds by offering limited-edition AADC sweatsuits for purchase. All donations will help fund the self-governed Student Organization production and activity items such as costumes, transportation, and other performance-related items. If you are interested in purchasing an AADC sweatsuit or jacket, complete this form to receive further information.

Gifts of any amount are vital to the sustainability and growth of our program. Thank you for valuing the arts and diversity in education.

Give to the Dance Company

African American Dance Company was established in 1974 under the direction of Professor Iris Rosa.  
46 years later, the African American Dance Company continues under the direction of Baba Stafford C. Berry Jr. 

AADC is so much more than just movement. The company embodies culture, history, and family. It feels like home for me. Being a part of this company is different from anything I’ve ever experienced, and I know that I will carry the experience with me for years to come.
